AEGIS Ashore
Abstract
Deployed sites, referred to as an Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System Complex (AAMDSC), will be able to be modified to support future computer program and missile variants in accordance with the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA). The initial AAMDSC will be deployed to Romania in 2015 and will employ Advanced Capability Build 12 (ACB 12)/Aegis BMD 5.0 and SM-3 Block IB. A second AAMDSC will be deployed to Poland in FY 2018 in accordance with the PAA. This site will provide an Aegis Ashore exoatmospheric defense against short to medium and intermediate range ballistic missile threats in the later stages of flight. If the threat dictates, additional systems could be purchased and deployed globally to support Geographic Combatant Commanders. The deployed sites will be capable of being upgraded to address current and future ballistic missile threats. The Aegis Ashore Radar Deckhouse will be fabricated, erected and used to test the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) equipment at the Lockheed Martin Moorestown, NJ campus. The associated foundation and utilities at Moorestown will be funded by research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) under the authority of 10 USC 2353. Once the PMRF equipment testing is completed in the New Jersey (NJ) Deckhouse, the PMRF equipment will be shipped to PMRF, where it will be installed and integrated into an identical deckhouse located at the PMRF. The Aegis Ashore Deckhouse at NJ will be subsequently used for Romania. This dual deckhouse approach is required to reduce risk at PMRF and will result in fabrication and construction efficiencies. Research and Development efforts may include required modifications to adapt the Aegis Weapon System for land based use. In support of EPAA Phase III, Aegis Ashore will integrate the Aegis BMD 5.1 and Standard Missile (SM-3) Block IIA capabilities into the Aegis Ashore platforms.
