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. The MDA Test Program is responsible for all BMDS testing and relies on BMDS Systems Engineering to provide the system test objectives that 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 budget project are to 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.
