Advanced Concepts and Performance Assessment
Abstract
Provide quantitative assessments that define the benefits of technology investments and inform requirements using an integrated concept definition, simulation, and performance analysis capability. A staff of diverse Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) deliver independent government performance evaluations which exercise kinetic and non-kinetic missile defense concept representations against the broad spectrum of evolving threats. - Assess forward-based airborne electro-optical infrared and advanced sensors - Provide independent government assessments of industry sensor (e.g. Advanced Sensor), directed energy (e.g. Low Power Laser Demonstrator), and kill vehicle technology concepts - Examine directed energy pathfinder solutions - Study low earth orbit satellite capabilities - Assess and identify promising boost phase intercept capabilities - Perform concept performance against emerging advanced threats including hypersonic threat testing scenarios - Mature advanced technology concepts through lab, ground, and flight test data - Apply concepts in simulated exercises with weapon systems - Work with the BMDS Architect and MDA Systems Engineer to design concepts, build models and assess technology concepts for the future BMDS - Develop and extend modeling techniques - Focus research and engineering activities from university and small business partners to identify suitable technology and concepts that improve BMDS performance through a rapid innovation model based on an engineering test bed Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
