THAAD
Abstract
The THAAD Development Program consists of multiple, independent software builds (e.g. Build 2.0, Build 3.0 - Improved Debris Mitigation, Software Build 3.2 - Remote Launcher Part 1 (USFK JEON), Software Build 4.0 - THAAD / Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) Integration (USFK JEON), Software Build 5.0 - Expanded Regional Defense, and Software Build 6.0 - Enhanced Correlation and Discrimination) in an incremental evolution to expand the capability of the previously delivered THAAD system. All new software builds include cyber security and information assurance upgrades. Software Build deliveries have been adjusted to most efficiently and effectively deliver both the USFK JEON content (THAAD Remote Launcher Part 1; Patriot Launch on Remote; THAAD / Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) Part 1) along with program of record capabilities as follows: Software Build 3.2 - Remote Launcher Part 1 (USFK JEON) (scheduled to be completed in 4Q FY 2019) - Initial requirements for increased defended area footprints via remote operation of THAAD Launchers in support of USFK JEON - PATRIOT Launch on Remote to utilize THAAD's capability to detect and track threat ballistic missiles at longer ranges and utilize PAC-3 MSE's full kinematic capability in support of USFK JEON Software Build 4.0 - THAAD / MSE Integration Part 1 (USFK JEON) (scheduled to be completed in 2Q FY 2021) - Initial requirements to integrate MSE launchers and missiles into the THAAD weapon system enabling a more tightly integrated upper/lower tier defensive capability in support of USFK JEON - Expanded requirements for increased defended area footprints via THAAD Remote Launcher Part 2 - Improved capability to engage short-range ballistic missile (SRBM), medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) and limited intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) threats capable of creating complex scenes Software Build 5.0 - Expanded Regional Defense (scheduled to be completed in 2Q FY 2023) - Hypersonic tracking and reporting for the warfighter to utilize the Terminal Mode radar to report hypersonic threats to the BMDS - Capability to track, discriminate and engage lethal objects reported on surveillance - Expanded requirements for THAAD / MSE Integration Part 2 to increase defended area footprints via remote operation of MSE Launchers in a THAAD Battery Software Build 6.0 - Enhanced Correlation and Discrimination (scheduled to be completed in 1Q FY 2025) - Enhance engagement coordination with other BMD assets - Upgrades to process Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) messages to obtain direction for target engagement
