Consumables - Short Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBM)
Abstract
Consumables includes the development and manufacturing of target hardware. The Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Targets Program delivers fully assembled and integrated targets to the BMDS Test Program. Target development includes the non-recurring engineering (NRE) for all four target classes, Multi-Class Components (Associated Objects and Modified Ballistic Re-Entry Vehicles), and launch support equipment that support BMDS flight testing. Target development provides air, sea, and ground launch capabilities to maximize flexibility in Missile Defense Agency (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. Through the development program, 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 Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Integrated Master Test Plan (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.
