Ground Based Midcourse
Abstract
Project MD08 provides funding for continued development of Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) capabilities, with the following functionalities which are included in Ballistic Missile Defense System Integrated Build C and Build D, and fielded in Capability Delivery 04 and Capability Delivery 06. The Ground-Based Midcourse Defense program is described as follows: -Ground-Based Midcourse Defense capability consists of communications systems, fire control capabilities, and ground-based interceptors. MDA will continue the development and fielding of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense capability to defend the U.S. against a limited number of launches of Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles To prove the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense capability works, MDA will execute a rigorous test program that includes expanding our flight and ground test programs to test our capability against intermediate and long-range threats to build the confidence in the Ballistic Missile Defense System, bolster deterrence against their use, and send a message to potential adversaries looking to acquire ballistic missiles -MDA will continue to provide for the operations and sustainment of Ground-Based Midcourse Defense fielded capability at Fort Greely, Alaska; Eareckson Air Station, Alaska; Vandenberg Air Force Base, California; the Missile Defense Integration Operations Center (MDIOC), Colorado and across the nation-wide Ground-Based Midcourse Defense Communications Network -Ground-Based Midcourse Defense will pursue a competitive Development and Sustainment Contract (DSC) for future development; fielding; test; systems engineering, integration and configuration management; equipment manufacturing and upgrade; training; and operations and sustainment support for the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system and associated support facilities -MDA will continue execution of a lifecycle management plan to sustain the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system through 2032 and beyond. To increase reliability of the Ground-Based Interceptor fleet we will rotate newer Ground-Based Interceptors into operational fleet and upgrade older Ground-Based Interceptors for flight testing and operational spares. MDA will execute an obsolescence and technology refresh program for Ground Systems components to mitigate obsolescence issues -MDA will complete Missile Field 2 (MF2) at Fort Greely, Alaska and plan for the decommissioning of Missile Field 1 (MF1) -MDA organized a Failure Investigation Team (FIT) that was formed to investigate the cause of the unsuccessful intercept of Flight Test Ground-Based Midcourse Defense-06 (FTG-06). FIT findings were published in August 2010 -MDA established a Failure Review Board (FRB) to investigate the cause of unsuccessful intercept of Flight Test Ground-Based Midcourse Defense-06a (FTG-06a)
