Aegis BMD
Abstract
Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) continues development of a sea-based BMD capability in project MD09, in support of the Missile Defense Agency`s mission to protect the homeland, deployed forces, friends and allies from ballistic missile threats of all ranges and in all stages of flight. Aegis BMD efforts will primarily fall into two categories of BMD initiatives: Enhance Missile Defense to Defend Deployed Forces, Allies and Friends Against Theater Threats: -By FY 2014 Aegis BMD 4.0 will improve radar tracking accuracy and Radio Frequency (RF) discrimination and increased raid capacity using Aegis BMD Signal Processor (BSP). -SM-3 Block IB improved kinetic warhead by FY 2014. -Aegis BMD 5.0 integrates BMD capability into the Navy`s Aegis Modernization Program by FY 2015. -Aegis BMD 5.0 Capability Upgrade (CU) expands threat set and further increased the raid size, adds improved terminal defense capability by FY 2015. -By FY 2018 the Aegis BMD 5.1 implementation of Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IIA tactical capability will take place. -BMD shipset installations aboard US Navy Cruisers and Destroyers are an ongoing effort. -By FY 2014 the adaptation of Aegis BMD for use on land (Aegis Ashore) will take place. Prove Missile Defense Works: -Aegis BMD element-level testing. -Participation in BMD System ground tests. -Element Modeling & Simulation. Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) 3.6.1 provides midcourse defense against Short Range Ballistic missile (SRBM), Medium Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) and Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBMs) using the Standard Missile (SM-3) Block IA and terminal defense against SRBM with SM-2 Block IV Missile. This configuration is deployed today supporting Combatant Commanders (COCOM) needs. It is a key element of U.S. regional missile defenses for the defense of deployed forces, allies, and partners in Europe, the Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. Planned efforts include increasing the number of ships to 24 and continued integration with other elements of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS.) Aegis BMD 4.0 and SM-3 Blk IB address more sophisticated and evolving threats. The ship receives a new signal processor that increases radar resolution to provide more accurate and discriminated track information and triples the possible number of simultaneous ballistic missile engagements over Aegis BMD 3.6.1. The SM-3 receives a new kinetic warhead that includes a 2 color seeker, throttleable engine and upgraded signal processor. Other capability enhancements include functionality to support BMDS integrated Builds C and D: -Improvements in BMDS Command and Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) to ensure future BMDS remote sensor enhancements and the resulting discrimination capabilities are able to be communicated, correlated, and acted upon. Improved engagement coordination capability with Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and Patriot to conserve upper tier missiles, including Patriot upper tier debris mitigation. -Analysis for planned upgrades to the SM-3 missile to expand battlespace and improve discrimination, divert, and probability of mission success. -Supports BMDS Integrated Build C functionality: In Aegis BMD, this functionality includes deliberate and crisis Ballistic Missile Defense planning, Warfighter situational awareness, and the initial capability to control Regional BMD engagement between local assets and near-term improvements to threat discrimination. -Supports Integrated BMDS Build D functionality: In Aegis BMD, this functionality includes the Aegis BMD System (4.0 and Standard Missile (SM-3 Block IB)) that provides significant improvements to both Radio Frequency (RF) and Infrared (IR) discrimination allowing for engagement of complex threats. Additional improvements to Aegis increase its ability to launch SM-3 interceptors on BMD System remote sensor data and improve Aegis coordination with the THAAD and Patriot weapon systems. -Approved additions to integrated Build D support initial Aegis BMD Ashore with control of engagement debris and refinements to BMD engagement coordination. Aegis BMD 5.0 will integrate Aegis BMD 4.0 capability into the Navy-developed Open Architecture (OA) computing environment. This change is necessary for Aegis BMD to remain compatible with Navy as Navy ship modernization plans are executed. This change will improve human-systems interface through display enhancements and eliminate the need for a separate computing system specific to the BMD mission. This will also enable more ships to serve as candidates for the BMD mission. Aegis BMD 5.0 will support the BMDS Integrated Build D and provide the basis for Aegis Ashore. Aegis BMD 5.0 Capability Upgrade (CU) will enhance Aegis BMD 5.0 by restoring the terminal defense layer with the SM-6, increasing the maximum number of SM-3`s inflight simultaneously and expanding the threat set to include those for Phased Adaptive Approach (PAA) Phase II for defense of Europe and support of deployed forces, friends and allies and to increase this capability by delivering evolutionary improvements as part of (BMDS) upgrades. Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) 5.1 will integrate the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IIA missile and provide improved terminal defense capability. It will also incorporate the following Weapon System improvements: -An Aegis BMD module in Navy`s Open Architecture computer program. -Defeat a wide variety of ballistic missiles: Short Range Ballistic Missile (SRBMs), Medium Range Ballistic Missile (MRBMs), and Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBMs). -Increased battlespace with the SM-3 Block IIA. -Engage on Remote (EoR) engagements allows use active and passive off board sensor information to launch and guide the SM-3 to final intercept. EoR engagements will use more of the SM-3`s kinematic envelope expanding battlespace, will increase the theoretical number of threats engaged over previous baselines both matching communications upgrades and make the overall architecture more resilient to adversary attempts to penetrate the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS.) -Enhanced conventional discrimination. -Increased BMDS interoperability. -Enhanced Sea-Based Terminal capability. The Standard Missile-3 Block IIB (SM-3 IIB) is considered a key element to expanding the battle space by adding an additional layer to our homeland defense against Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) from the Middle East. The goals of the program are to develop an operational, hit-to-kill missile fielded in the 2024 timeframe to counter first generation ICBMs targeted at the U.S. homeland early in- flight. It will serve as the first tier of the layered defense of the U.S. Homeland. The SM-3 IIB missile will also provide a large defended area against regional, intermediate range ballistic missiles. The SM-3 IIB will be integrated into the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) 5.1 Weapon System using Engage on Remote, leveraging the BMD distributed Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C4ISR) network. The near term goal of the program is to reduce technical and programmatic risk by developing and testing key component technologies that increase the speed of the missile and provide flexible energy management to engage targeted ballistic missiles early in their trajectory. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is also working with three industry teams to evaluate a wide range of missile concepts, up to 27" in diameter, while balancing technical, cost and performance parameters. The SM-3 IIB contributions to the Prioritized Capability List include: Joint Engagement Sequence (aerospace) (raid capacity), and Prevent Attack (advanced ballistic missile threats). Aegis BMD supports an autonomous engagement against SRBMs and MRBMs without requiring external cueing. It supports an engagement against SRBMs and MRBMs using data from other BMDS elements and external sensors. Aegis BMD will also provide target track data to support Ground-based Interceptor Launch and Engagement against Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs).
