Resources
Abstract
BMDS Target Resources consist of two sub-elements: Systems Engineering/Program Management and Logistics. Systems Engineering/Program Management provides technical direction to meet Target Program requirements while balancing cost, schedule, performance, and risk. It conducts functional requirements allocation to product lines, defines product line specifications/interfaces, performs configuration and data management, and follows guidelines for design reviews. It performs target system analysis to verify system performance, defines target program baselines, controls flight test configurations, and conducts pre and post-flight analysis. It identifies treaty and environmental issues and develops plans for issue resolution. It provides Quality, Safety, and Mission Assurance operations to ensure compliance with Missile Defense Agency requirements for design, test, manufacturing, quality, safety and reliability to ensure high quality products are delivered for test events. It also includes Single Stimulation Framework (SSF)/Objective Simulation Framework (OSF) compatible Modeling and Simulation execution and improvements to evolve TC Modeling and Simulation capability; trajectory analyses; signature analyses and characterization; studies to assess alternative target and platform solutions; assessments of risk management; and design approval of government furnished equipment. Specific Systems Engineering Planned Accomplishments include: -Continue Program Management and Business Operations for target components to provide a framework for overall management of the Targets program -Continue providing classified network connections to Other Government Agencies (OGAs) so their subject matter experts can be used to support Target requirements -Continue analyses of future target Launch Vehicles, Re-Entry Vehicles, and launch platforms to ensure they are threat representative and that the Agency is making use of available technology in our future designs -Continue performing Pedigree Reviews to ensure high probability of mission success -Continue information technology and classified network support to ensure sensitive target information is not compromised -Continue Software Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) to provide risk reduction of flight missions for target systems under development, including the Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) and Modified Ballistic Re-Entry Vehicle-5 (MBRV-5) BMDS Targets Program Logistics support provides target storage, aging surveillance, and transportation of TC hardware in support of BMDS testing. Also included are integrated logistics support for facilities, inventory maintenance, spare parts, aging surveillance, disposal, special testing for rocket motor propellants, and other hazardous material handling. This task manages and oversees accountability of all government furnished equipment and contractor acquired property. Logistics also provides common support equipment for launch vehicles, MBRVs, countermeasures, and all up integrated target rounds. It also supports launch site activations through the transportation of support equipment to various test sites. Specific Targets Logistics Planned Accomplishments include: -Continue Multi-Class Inventory storage, aging surveillance, maintenance of existing assets, and transportation support that ensured availability of Modified Ballistic Re-entry Vehicles and ground support equipment -Conduct disposal actions of inert assets
