Ground Based Midcourse
Abstract
Project MD08 provides funding for the development and fielding of incremental component capability enhancements to Project CX08. To counter the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile and Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile threat, the United States deploys Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (Ground Based Midcourse Defense) interceptors in silos at Fort Greely, AK (Fort Greely, Alaska) and Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA (Vandenberg Air Force Base), to defend our Homeland from Intercontinental Ballistic Missile or Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile attack. In Fiscal Year 2010, we will continue the development of long-range Ground Based Midcourse Defense capabilities with missile fields at Fort Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base, where we will maintain 26 and four Ground Based Interceptors, respectively. This work will improve protection of the United States against a limited number of rogue state launches of Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles s and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles s. Given the small inventory of long-range ballistic missiles deployed by rogue states, thirty highly-ready Ground Based Interceptors will provide the United States substantial fire power. These enhancements include: Maintain traceability between the Ballistic Missile Defense System Specification, associated documentation and the corresponding Ground Based Midcourse Defense Element requirements and integration into Ballistic Missile Defense System; conduct Ground Based Midcourse Defense Build D Element Requirements Review and Preliminary Design Review for Ground Systems 8A, EKV 10.0 development that add Ballistic Missile Defense planning enhancements to the Space Based Infrared System interface, Warfighter operation, and other Command & Control, Battle Management and Communications enhancements Ballistic Missile Defense System Integrated Build D functionality for Ground Based Midcourse Defense includes use of ballistic missile defense System Tracks to conduct engagements, interceptor feature-aided correlation, and support for system-level battle management engagement direction. Initiate design and analysis of the Ballistic Missile Defense System track capability using the Quality of Service requirement (that is, data of sufficient accuracy and low enough latency to support successful engagement of ballistic missiles) for associated Command & Control, Battle Management and Communications and sensor capabilities provided by Missile Defense Agency Systems Engineering Continue acquisition of 11 Ground Based Interceptors for fielding at Fort Greely, Alaska or Vandenberg Air Force Base to replace older fielded Ground Based Interceptors Initiate rotation plan of older fielded Ground Based Interceptors to Flight Test configuration to support Integrated Master Test Plan requirements Initiate acquisition of five additional Ground Based Interceptors with upgraded booster avionics (Fleet Avionics Upgrade/Obsolescence Program) to support Integrated Master Test Plan requirements and Stockpile Reliability, to include manufacturing line restart and vendor requalification; this will be the first new order of Ground Based Interceptors since 2006 Initiate development of software builds to utilize improved discrimination from Sensors, improve integration with the Ballistic Missile Defense System, accommodate upgraded Ground Based Interceptors, and incorporate recommendations from the Warfighter Continue integration of first seven silos for Missile Field-2 and Missile Field-2 Mechanical Electrical Building (MEB) to provide the Warfighter with a highly reliable and hardened Missile Field capability; restart installation, integration and checkout of seven additional silos to deliver Missile Field-2 in a 14 silo configuration Continue the Ballistic Missile Defense System flight and ground test program to bolster confidence in the missile defense capabilities under developments and ensure the capabilities transferred to the Warfighter are operationally effective, suitable, and survivable Continue 2-Stage Ground Based Interceptor for Flight Test Continue development of models and simulations to increase fidelity and assess system performance in areas unable to test Support the Ballistic Missile Defense System Hardware-In-The-Loop Modeling and Simulation Program Continue to provide for the operations and sustainment of Ground Based Midcourse Defense fielded capability at Fort Greely, Alaska, Vandenberg Air Force Base, the Missile Defense Integration Operations Center (MDIOC), and across the nation-wide Ground Based Midcourse Defense Communications Network
