Aegis BMD Flight Test Execution
Abstract
Aegis BMD Ground Test Program performs comprehensive testing of Aegis BMD Components and their interoperability with the BMDS using accredited M&S that provides the evidence required for the MDA and Combatant Commanders to transition the capability to the Operational Capacity 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 Ground Tests to include pre-mission analysis, mission execution, and post-mission analysis. -Conduct planning to ensure BMDS Test Site (BTS) 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. -Continue testing of U.S. Navy C4I systems and Aegis BMD baselines to ensure BMDS interoperability. -Continue to participate in System Level Ground Testing as an element of the layered BMDS to collect data for Aegis BMD characterization and assessment and exploration of scenarios where flight testing is either impracticable or impossible. -Continue operation support of HWIL M&S for Element ground testing. -Prepare and conduct a Hardware Ground Test of cooled gas Attitude Control System (ACS). -Aegis BMD HWIL lab participation align to the IMTP Ground Test schedule and early integration to provide risk reduction for Ground Test runs for the record and implementation of Continuous Integration and Continuous Agile Testing Concept of Operations (CONOPS) pathfinders. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
