AEGIS BMD Test

Abstract

The FY 2019 Aegis BMD Test Program will concentrate on critical IMTP flight tests that support the U.S. Navy and European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA), Weapon System Certification, and Missile Production Decision requirements. Aegis BMD will concentrate on Aegis BL 9.C2 (BMD 5.x) and Standard Missile SM-3 Block IIA operational testing in FY 2019 to include FTO-03 E2 demonstrating BMDS engagement of an IRBM with CMs using a Regional/Theater BMDS architecture. Proving Missile Defense: - Working with the U.S. 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 M&S results - The IMTP is event-oriented and extends until the collection of all identified data is completed ensuring adequate test investments
