THAAD
Abstract
The THAAD II Development Program consists of multiple, independent software builds (e.g. Build 2.0, Build 3.0, build 4.0, and build 5.0) to expand the capability of the previously delivered THAAD 1.0 system. THAAD software build 3.0 is scheduled to be completed in 3Q FY 2018 and tested in 2Q FY 2019 during Flight Test Operational-03 Event 2 (FTO-03 E2). THAAD software build 4.0 is scheduled to be completed in 2Q FY 2020 and tested in 3Q FY 2020 during Flight Test THAAD-19 (FTT-19). THAAD software build 5.0 is scheduled to be completed in 2Q FY 2021 and tested in 4Q FY 2021 during Flight Test THAAD-21 (FTT-21). New capabilities provided from the different software builds of the THAAD II Development Program include upgrades such as: 1) improved THAAD Weapons System performance in the presence of a high debris environment, 2) expanded defended area footprints via remote operation of THAAD Launchers, 3) enhancements to share defended assets between BMD tactical level weapon systems, 4) software upgrades to maintain capability against evolving threats, 5) upgrades to process C2BMC messages to obtain direction for target engagement, 6) Weapon System Information Assurance mandatory updates, 7) Warfighter requested enhancements, 8) improved capability to engage SRBM, MRBM and limited IRBM threats capable of creating complex scenes, 9) upgrades to maintain interfaces with other BMDS elements, and 10) providing the ability to initiate an engagement and launch THAAD interceptors using sensor data provided by BMDS sources outside the THAAD Battery.
