BMDS Radars

Abstract

Project MD11 continues efforts described for FY 2009 and 2010 in Projects EX11, WX11, and XX11. These efforts contribute to all four budget objectives of the BMDS: Enhancing Regional Defense, Continuing Viable Homeland Defense, Proving Missile Defense, and Hedging Against Future Threats. Activities in this project include: Development, delivery and deployment of AN/TPY-2 radars for either forward-based or Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Fire Unit use to meet warfighter needs (Regional Defense) Development of radar discrimination advanced algorithms and Common X-Band software for SBX and AN/TPY-2 radars to address evolving threats (Regional Defense, Homeland Defense) System engineering, and software development and testing support (Hedge Against Future Threats) Modeling and simulation efforts to include: enhanced sensor models, development of RF scene generators, integration of digital simulations into the BMDS modeling and simulation architecture, and verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) of radar models (Proving Missile Defense) Implementation of BMDS Unifying Missile Defense Functions (UMDF) to improve BMDS efficiency and effectiveness (Hedging Against Future Threats) Participation in BMDS flight and ground test campaigns (Proving Missile Defense) Sustainment of deployed radars (Regional Defense, Homeland Defense) Continuation of the External Sensors Laboratory (ESL), a test bed to utilize metric sensor data to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the overall BMDS (Hedge Against Future Threats)
