AEGIS BMD Test

Abstract

The FY 2018 Aegis BMD Test Program will concentrate on critical IMTP flight tests that support the Navy and European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA). Aegis BMD will concentrate on Aegis BL 9.C2 (BMD 5.x) and Standard Missile SM-3 Block IIA testing in FY 2018. 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), 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 - As part of MDA'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 (M&S) results - The IMTP is event-oriented and extends until the collection of all identified data is completed to ensure adequate test investments
