Consumables - Medium Range Ballistic Missiles (MRBM)
Abstract
Consumables include MRBM target hardware development and manufacturing. The BMDS Targets Program delivers fully assembled and integrated targets to the BMDS Test Program. Target development includes non-recurring engineering, MBRVs, Countermeasures, and launch support equipment for BMDS flight testing. Target development provides air, sea, and ground launch capabilities to maximize flexibility in MDA test design. Development activities include requirements decomposition, design, modeling and simulation, qualification testing, and characterization. The BMDS Targets Program Office manages target configuration, component interface specifications, range integration, reliability, mission assurance, and costs. The BMDS Targets Program ensures target designs are producible, reliable, and affordable. Target manufacturing includes the build of targets and target components that are required to execute the BMDS IMTP. Manufacturing includes government furnished equipment and new component acquisition, assembly, and integration. Also included are target characterization, quality and mission assurance, transportation, and logistics support. Future revisions to the IMTP will likely affect target types and quantities noted in the Planned Accomplishments. Starting in FY 2017, Modified Ballistic Re-Entry Vehicle-7 (MBRV-7) efforts are being transferred to this section from the Consumables - Multi-Class section.
