Ground Based Midcourse

Abstract

Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) includes development and delivery of GMD Ground Systems, GBIs, and Systems Engineering and Program Management. Development objectives for GMD include: improve homeland defensive capability against an advancing threat that is increasing both in number of missiles and complexity, modernize the GMD Weapon System to provide improved fire control and communications with reduced obsolescence risk for increased availability for the warfighter, develop GBI software enhancements that improves reliability and discrimination, provide GMD and GBI service life extension upgrades, improve GMD Models and Simulation (M&S), and provide engineering support for participation with other MDS assets in system tests to demonstrate Missile Defense System (MDS) capabilities. GMD will continue the effort to develop and field improved standalone and integrated MDS discrimination capabilities, both of which will improve the System's ability to identify lethal reentry vehicles and non-lethal threat objects for enhanced interceptor performance.
