Program-Wide Support
Abstract
Program-Wide Support (PWS) contains non-headquarters management costs in support of Missile Defense Agency (MDA) functions and activities across the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). It Includes Government Civilians, Contract Support Services, and Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) support. This provides integrity and oversight of the BMDS as well as supports MDA in the development and evaluation of technologies that will respond to the changing threat. Additionally, PWS includes Global Deployment personnel and support performing deployment site preparation and activation and, provides facility capabilities for MDA Executing Agent locations. Other MDA wide costs includes: physical and technical security; civilian drug testing; audit readiness; the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program; legal services and settlements; travel and agency training; office and equipment leases; utilities; data and unified communications support; supplies and maintenance; materiel and readiness and central property management of equipment; and similar operating expenses. Program Wide Support is allocated on a pro-rata basis and therefore, fluctuates by year based on the adjusted RDT&E profile (which excludes:0305103C Cyber Security Initiative, 0603274C Special Program, 0603913C Israeli Cooperative Program and 0901598C Management Headquarters).
