BMDS Test Program
Abstract
The Test Program provides consolidated Missile Defense Agency (MDA) capabilities and resources to support the management and execution of Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) and Element-level testing. With the evolution of the BMDS, testing requirements have expanded beyond those of the individual Elements to include testing of BMDS Critical Engagement Conditions (CEC) and Empirical Measurement Events (EME) to enable Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) of modeling and simulations (M&S). The MDA Test Program is responsible for all BMDS testing and relies on BMDS Systems Engineering to provide the system test objectives to define the test architecture by developing, updating, coordinating, and assessing the Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP). The MDA Test Program plans and executes BMDS test events and develops the necessary test policy, test plans, and test infrastructure to conduct an effective test program. The goals of this budgetary objective are sustain and improve a robust testing program and to enhance M&S efforts to provide, in conjunction with flight and ground testing, confidence to the Combatant Commanders that the missile defense system works. Activities are grouped into five major areas: 1) Program Planning and Operations; 2) Flight Test; 3) Ground Test; 4) Test Resources; and 5) Engineering Test Analysis.
