Missile Defeat Project
Abstract
The Missile Defeat Project counters the growing global advancement and proliferation of road-mobile ballistic missile threats. This effort develops and integrates new capability and architectures to optimize fielded weapon systems and C4ISR to defeat these emerging threats. The Missile Defeat Project coordinates and integrates joint DOD and Intelligence Community (IC) efforts to develop counter threat capability solutions in five key areas: 1) dynamic command and control; 2) intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; 3) responsive conventional counterforce; 4) national missile defense; and 5) an enduring demonstration and experimentation capability to integrate and measure the effectiveness of developed solutions. This effort will evaluate and assess innovative and creative solutions by partnering with the IC, Combatant Commands, government labs, program offices, industry and academia. Previous investments resulted in multiple industry and government reference concepts which informed decisions for concept development and demonstration. The Missile Defeat Project performs system engineering, integration, and modeling and simulation in support of the development of a set of system architectures in FY 2017 and FY 2018. Systems engineering updates threat requirements for systems analysis and trade studies. In addition, it develops integrated capability assessments with updated architectures and threat scenarios, defines and allocates options, expands functionality, and incorporates exercise results for missile defeat enterprise M&S tools. The end-to-end systems engineering informs capability investments and requirement allocations across the missile defeat enterprise. The testbeds provide robust test, evaluation, and prototyping infrastructure and assessments in support of OSD AT&L system engineering of time critical targeting efforts. Building on previous investments, the virtual testbed will complement testing at physical ranges by providing an infrastructure for addressing different training, test, and evaluation needs. In addition, ground, flight and open air testing will be performed to validate models and simulation.
