Advanced Remote Sensor Technology

Abstract

Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) architecture analysis has shown that tracking large enemy ballistic missile raids with remote advanced sensors decreases the time between the enemy`s launch and our first track. This increases the available battle space by hundreds of seconds and gives the BMDS the ability to shoot, look, and then shoot again. The Agency is executing a technology development strategy with clearly defined knowledge points, metrics, and risk burn down plans. Our strategy progresses from analysis, models, and simulations to laboratory, ground, and flight tests to incrementally verify and validate functionality and performance of the candidate technology. FY 2013 will consist of technology development and system design.
