BMDS Targets Program
Abstract
The mission of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) BMDS Targets program is to provide an economical and reliable inventory of targets that are representative of feasible future threats. These targets enable demonstration of the evolving layered missile defense system capability in operationally realistic scenarios. The BMDS Targets Program develops and acquires three target types across four target classes. The four target classes include: Short Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBM), Medium Range Ballistic Missiles (MRBM), Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBM), and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM). The target types (Type 1-3) designate the complexity of the target within its class. Type-1 targets are simple baseline configurations. Type-2 targets have increased capability or complexity. Type-3 targets have unique configurations. The BMDS Targets Program develops and provides Multi-Class Components that can be used across the spectrum of target types and classes. The BMDS Targets Program provides target digital models that enable MDA weapon system program offices to simulate end to end sensor and interceptor performance during pre-mission analysis. The BMDS Targets Program also provides maintenance, aging surveillance, refurbishment, and routine testing of government furnished equipment boosters and target components. Target requirements are derived from the Critical Engagement Conditions (CECs) and Empirical Measurement Events (EMEs) that are documented in the Agency`s Integrated Master Test Plan. The BMDS Targets Program develops and builds targets and countermeasures at multiple locations including: Courtland, AL; Orlando, FL; Chandler, AZ; and Albuquerque, NM. Storage and maintenance facilities are also located throughout the country including: Huntsville, AL; White Sands, NM; Ogden, UT; Camp Navajo, AZ; Hawthorne, NV; Tooele, UT; Courtland, AL; and Kodiak, AK. The BMDS Targets Program consists of three major areas: Target Hardware, Program Operations, and Target Support.
