AEGIS BMD Test
Abstract
The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) mission is to deliver an enduring, operationally effective and supportable BMD capability to defend the nation, deployed forces, friends and allies, and to increase this capability by delivering evolutionary improvements as part of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) upgrades. The FY2016 Aegis BMD Test Program will concentrate on two capability aspects that will give Aegis BMD an increased regional negation capability and defense of the fleet. Each of these programs have been in development for over 5 years, and address evolving threats as defined by national intelligence agencies. Upgrades to both the Aegis BMD Weapon System and the Standard Missile configurations enable Aegis BMD to provide effective, supportable defensive capability against longer range, more sophisticated threats and an enduring Aegis Ashore defensive capability. Aegis BMD will concentrate on increased capabilities developmental testing in FY2016 - and within the Aegis BMD budget, these are separate programs from the initial capability (ABMD 3.x, 4.x, and SM-3 Blocks IA and IB). One being the Block IIA Program that is a cooperative development with the Japanese and subject to International Agreements. Proving Missile Defense: - Working with the Navy Integrated Warfare System (IWS) Services' Operational Test Agencies (OTA), with the support of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has developed a test program to improve missile defense capabilities under development and ensure the capabilities transferred to the warfighter are operationally effective, suitable, and survivable FY 2016 testing is concentrated in these areas. - As part of the Agency's rigorous test program, System Pre-Flight predictions provide confidence in test execution by predicting element performance and exercising element interfaces. System Post-Flight Reconstruction replicates the Ballistic Missile Defense System configuration and actual environmental conditions and target dynamics observed in flight to anchor modeling and simulation results. - The Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) is event-oriented and extends until the collection of all identified data is completed to ensure adequate test investments.
