Aegis BMD
Abstract
Sea-Based Weapon Systems continues development of a Sea-Based BMD capability in support of the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA's) mission to protect the homeland, deployed forces, friends and allies from ballistic missile threats of all ranges and in all stages of flight. Systems Engineering & Integration performs requirements development, engineering analysis, capability integration, and performance verification for Aegis BMD development and Missile Defense System integration. Aegis BMD Technology Design and Insertion enables cross-baseline specification management and capability assessments to ensure consistent application of technical standards, processes, and procedures across the Aegis BMD program. Aegis BMD specific efforts include: systems engineering and architecture (process and execution); modeling and simulation (M&S); Verification and Validation (V&V) test and evaluation support; ship integration; quality; safety and mission assurance M&S. V&V efforts in this accomplishment are performed at the Aegis BMD element level, which feed into the overall Missile Defense System level. Aegis Baseline (BL) 5.4.1 (BMD 4.2) is a joint effort with the U.S. Navy that refurbishes existing ship AN/SPY-1 radar arrays with the installation of antenna Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs). As a result of cost growth and schedule MDA and Navy jointly realigned the LNA program to include software upgrades only with no LNA hardware procurements. The restructured program referred to as BMD 4.1.3 will develop spiral capability for the non-LNA upgrades beginning in FY 2024 to include SBT Increment 2 Capability Upgrade, Hypersonic Tracking and Reporting, Mission Planner Console update, and Threat Database re-architecture. This capability will deliver to 21 Flight I/II DDGs beginning in FY 2025. Aegis BL 9 (BMD 5.1.5) software spiral aligns with U.S. Navy Aegis Baseline 9 Capability Package 2024. The software spiral provides enhanced detection, track, report, and defeat capabilities of additional medium, intermediate, and long-range threats with increasingly complex engagement scenes and increased raid sizes. Through a series of unique Capability Insertion Packages, BMD 5.X capability spirals provide continuous software updates to the original BMD 5.1.0 architecture to incorporate emerging Missile Defense System capabilities, War fighter improvements, SM-3 software updates, and improved Weapon System performance necessary to pace the threat. Aegis BL 9 (BMD 5.1.5) software spiral includes support for AN/SPY-1 Radar sensitivity improvements, technology maturation, and prototyping that will demonstrate enhanced Missile Defense tracking performance against longer range and more sophisticated threats in challenging and complex environments. Aegis BL 10 (BMD 6.0 and BMD 6.0.1) incorporates the solid state Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR), now designated AN/SPY-6(v)1, for introduction on the first Flight III DDG. Aegis BL 10 (BMD 6.0) will provide deployed assets enhanced IAMD capability, while enabling Missile Defense System element utilization of SPY-6 data for remote engagement. Enhancements include significant improvements in Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) planning, search, track, discrimination and force level (multi-asset) raid defense. Aegis BL 10 (BMD 6.0) will enable U.S. Navy ships to maintain greater stand-off range while increasing performance against complex threats. Aegis BL 10.1 (BMD 6.0.1) provides the next software spiral for capability and performance improvements to IAMD and raid defense. This Program Element also provides the development of the Aegis Weapon System Software configuration for the Aegis portion of the Defense of Guam, including capabilities for defense against advanced ballistic threats and integration of the Land Based Radar configuration. M&S Objective Simulation Framework (OSF) effort develops, maintains and deploys the framework hardware and software for use at element laboratories and Combatant Command (CCMD) locations to support Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) events, Missile Defense System capability delivery assessments, War fighter training, exercises, and wargames. M&S Missile Defense System Simulations & Tools effort provides development and sustainment of digital products and the architecture framework, and delivery/maintenance of infrastructure for Missile Defense System performance assessments. Missile Defense System Assessment and Verification, Validation & Assessment (VV&A) includes activities to support Missile Defense System Operational Capability Baseline (OCB) delivery decisions and Technical Capability Declarations, and anchor System M&S.
