Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center (MDIOC)

Abstract

The Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center (MDIOC) supports the technical development integral to the mission execution platform for several critical Agency activities at the MDIOC. The MDIOC mission execution platform supports the Ground-based Midcourse Missile Defense Mission Control Center Facility, as well as the Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) Integration and Test Centers and the C2BMC Experimentation Laboratories. It provides infrastructure support for the Satellite Tracking and Surveillance System`s Missile Defense Space Experimentation Center; the Targets and Countermeasures` Joint Target Operations Center; and the developmental support to the External Sensors Laboratory (ESL) as directed, of a common satellite ground station and sensor netting test bed for designated Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) elements. It also supports BMDS Critical Engagement Conditions testing and analysis through the operation of the Test Execution Control node for distributed BMDS ground tests. The MDIOC provides the mission execution platform that supports operations of the Missile Defense Element, manned by the Army 100th Missile Defense Brigade, the United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) C2BMC Command and Control Center, and United States Strategic Command`s (USSTRATCOM`s) Joint Functional Component Command-Integrated Missile Defense (JFCC-IMD) and the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Warfighter Support Center. In addition, the MDIOC mission execution platform supports the MDA Operations Support Center, which provides situational awareness of the health and status of the end-to-end BMDS and provides network subject matter expertise and technical reach back for the program elements and Combatant Commanders. Funds BMDS wargames and exercises in support of the warfighter. Funds Modeling and Simulation to provide and integrate digital modeling and simulation assets to the Digital Simulation Architecture to form system-level constructive simulations for full-envelope BMDS performance assessment with surrogate capability for BMDS ground tests. The MDIOC maintains a technical repository of BMDS Implementation Architectures for real-time operations and configuration control; provides both state change management and asset management technical support for the BMDS; and provides the technical environment for BMDS Watch Officers, Safety Officers, and Information Assurance Officers to execute their assigned duties. The MDIOC also supports the operations of the Joint Early Warning Laboratory, which provides USSTRATCOM with quick response analyses of real-world launches, and rapid anomaly identification and resolution.
