Aegis BMD Ground Test Execution
Abstract
Sea-Based Weapon Systems Ground Test (GT) Program performs comprehensive testing of Aegis BMD Components and their interoperability with the Missile Defense System using accredited M&S that provides the evidence required for the MDA and Combatant Commanders to transition the capability to the Operational Capability Baseline. More specifically, ground testing is used to collect data for Aegis BMD characterization and assessment, flight test risk reduction, and exploration of scenarios where flight testing is either impracticable or impossible. Recurring Accomplishments include: -Participate in BMD System GT to include pre-mission analysis, mission execution, and post-mission analysis. -Conduct planning to ensure Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex, Missile Defense System Test Bed San Diego, and Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems Computer Program Test Site capabilities support Aegis BMD testing, exercises, flight tests, and demonstration requirements. This includes upgrades to the ground testing labs to ensure compliance with operational and test baselines. -Conduct testing of U.S. Navy Command, Control, Communications, Computers Intelligence Systems and Aegis BMD baselines to ensure Missile Defense System interoperability. -Participate in System Level Ground Testing as an element of the layered Missile Defense System to collect data for Aegis BMD characterization and assessment. -Perform operation support of Hardware in the loop (HWIL) M&S for Element ground testing. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
