BMDS Targets Program
Abstract
The mission of the 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 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 Modified Ballistic Re-Entry Vehicles (MBRV) and Countermeasures 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. The BMDS Targets Program carefully plans the year of execution to assure the best use of appropriated funds. However, the BMDS Targets Program must be flexible in its execution of the program in order to respond to emerging real world threats or changes in the intelligence community estimates of when a threat will be deployed. The Targets Program must also work with BMDS systems engineers on a continuing basis to align the targets program to the BMDS capabilities as reflected in MDA's Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP). The BMDS Targets Program makes every effort to reduce instability in contracts, production base and budget while managing in this dynamic work environment. The BMDS Targets Program develops and builds targets and countermeasures at multiple locations including: Courtland, AL; Orlando, FL; Huntsville, AL; and Chandler, AZ. Storage and maintenance facilities are also located throughout the country including: Huntsville, AL; White Sands, NM; Ogden, UT; Tooele, UT; Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, FL, and Courtland, AL. The BMDS Targets Program consists of four major areas: Consumables, Program Planning and Operations, Resources, and Flight Test Execution.
