AEGIS Ashore
Abstract
Deployed sites, referred to as an Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System (AAMDS), will be modified to support future computer program and missile variants in step with the U.S. Navy's Destroyer Modernization Plan. MDA is responsible for maintaining and modernizing the test center at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), while the Navy is responsible for maintaining and modernizing all deployed Aegis Ashore sites. The initial AAMDS deployed to Romania in 2015 employing Aegis BMD 5.0 CU (Capabilities Upgrade) and SM-3 Block IB. A second AAMDS deploys to Poland and is scheduled to become operational in 2018. These sites provide an Aegis Ashore exo-atmospheric defense against short to intermediate-range ballistic missile threats in the later stages of flight. If the threat dictates, additional systems can be purchased and deployed globally. Research and Development efforts include: required modifications to adapt the Aegis Weapon System for land based use, modernization in pace with the U.S. Navy's Destroyer Modernization Plan, development and testing of Aegis Ashore capability improvements at the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex (AAMDTC) in Hawaii, and modifications, as required, to enhance co-existence with Broadband Wireless Access systems in the European theater. In support of EPAA Phase III, Aegis Ashore integrates the Aegis BMD 5.1 and Standard Missile (SM-3) Block IIA capabilities into the Aegis Ashore sites. MDA is responsible for any upgrade to BMD capability, BMD specific mission equipment, and integration with existing Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) nodes for all Aegis Ashore sites.
