AEGIS Ashore
Abstract
In 2012/2013, the Aegis Ashore program office will install the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex (AAMDTC) at Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) on Kauai, Hawaii to provide proof of concept, system verification and validation of the first shore-based operation, support deployment decisions and upgrades of future incremental capabilities. The AAMDS will use Advanced Capability Build (ACB) 12/Aegis BMD 5.0 and SM-3 Block IB being developed by the USN and MDA to be certified in 2013 and will provide the critical feedback required for refinement of the shore-based system architecture such that Initial Operational Capability (IOC) is achieved by 2015 in accordance with the MDA schedule for Aegis Ashore, and in accordance with Capability Delivery (CD)-06. This site will be able to be modified to support future computer program and missile variants. Aegis Ashore will leverage the proven Aegis BMD capability and deploy a second system at the Host Nation 1 site, Romania, in 2015. Host Nation 1 will employ ACB 12/Aegis BMD 5.0 and SM-3 Block 1B and will be upgraded to ACB16/Aegis BMD 5.1, SM-3 Block 1B and SM-3 Block IIA when Host Nation 2 (Poland) comes on line in 2018. This will provide an Aegis Ashore exoatmospheric defense against short to medium and some intermediate range ballistic missile threats in the later stages of flight. If threat dictates, additional systems could be procured and deployed globally to support Geographic Combatant Commanders.
