Midcourse Test
Abstract
Ballistic Missile Defense Midcourse Defense Segment (BMDS) Test provides flight, ground, and cyber testing of Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) functionality to demonstrate Homeland Defense capabilities against allocated threats. The GMD Element is tested in an integrated environment with MDS sensors; Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications; Warfighters; and national collection assets to assess the ability to defend the United States and its territories against ballistic missiles. Primary activities include GMD Flight Test Execution, Ground Test Execution, Cyber Test Execution, Resources, and Program Operations. BMDS Test provides day-to-day operations of the GMD Test program to include engineering support for test planning, execution, and post-event reconstruction. GMD flight tests provide the opportunity to test actual hardware and to demonstrate MDS Element interoperability under operationally realistic conditions. GMD ground tests are executed both in the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) lab environment and in the field, and provide performance assessments for GMD fielding decisions. GMD cyber tests are executed both in the HWIL lab environment and in the field, and provide GMD cyber, operational resilience, and system survivability assessments. GMD Test Resources provides the infrastructure, laboratories, and prime contractor program management to support the GMD Test program. Program Operations provides for government management and support of the GMD Test program.
