Threat Systems Engineering

Abstract

Threat Engineering provides representations of adversary missile capabilities based on available intelligence information, and develops, coordinates, and baselines Missile Defense System-level targets and countermeasures requirements to define target capabilities required to meet System flight test objectives. Efforts include: - Develop threat definitions for system specifications -- Produce threat / scenario data for Missile Defense System development events -- Perform Threat Verification and Validation analysis to verify missile models meet specifications and are consistent with intelligence assessments - Produce Adversary Data Package updates - Develop target requirements to ensure flight test targets meet operationally realistic conditions - Produce Target Assessment and Certification Reports - Assess threat representation of flight test targets - Develop target system specifications and guide targets requirements development, planning, and certification for Missile Defense System flight tests - Analyze flight test target performance relative to threat intelligence assessments to support target system verification and certification - Provide Technical Data for major engineering reviews (System Requirements Reviews, Critical Design Reviews, etc.) Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
