GM Capability Development
Abstract
Project WX08 funds Ground Based Midcourse Defense support of Ballistic Missile Defense System architecture developments, in particular, to provide a pervasive queuing with overhead IR sensors, with a focus on regional defense scenarios. This concept addresses the goals of enabling earlier interceptor commit and earlier intercepts. Threat Systems Engineering supports the planning, design and specification, integration and implementation, and test verification and assessment phases of the systems engineering process. The Threat Systems Engineering uses intelligence community data to define the Ballistic Missile Defense System threat space and directly supports the development of the Ballistic Missile Defense System Description Document and System and Element Specifications. This threat space is documented in the Adversary Data Packages (ADP), which includes common and consistent representation of Missile Systems and countermeasures to drive Ballistic Missile Defense System requirements, designs, and directly supports the execution of Integrated Master Test Plan (i.e. flight test targets, ground tests & digital simulations, and pre-mission analysis). Threat Systems Engineering also develops scenarios (trajectory and signature) for system and element utilization for compliance and assessment evaluations of Ballistic Missile Defense System capability to defend homeland, deployed forces, and friends and allies.
