Ground Based Midcourse

Abstract

Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) includes development and delivery of GMD Ground Systems, Ground Based Interceptors, Systems Engineering and Program Management. Development objectives for GMD include: improve homeland defensive capability against an evolving threat that is increasing both in number of missiles and complexity of threat payloads, support Salvo Flight Test-11, modernize the GMD ground system, provide fire control and communications, develop GBI software enhancements that improve reliability and discrimination, improve GMD models and simulations, and participate with other BMDS assets in system ground tests. GMD will continue the effort to develop and field improved standalone and integrated BMDS discrimination capabilities, both of which will improve the BMD System's ability to identify lethal reentry vehicles and non-lethal threat objects for enhanced intercept performance.
