Today’s Realities

POTUS, 23 August 2017: “We are committed to expanding and improving a state of the art

missile defense system to shoot down missiles in flight. And we are getting better and better

at it. It’s actually incredible what’s taking place.”

SECDEF statement, 20 September 2017: "...if we fail to adapt at the speed of relevance,

our forces will lose...“

CJCS, 3 October 2017: "Based on the current capacity of the North Korean threat, both the

type and the amount of missiles that they possess, we can protect Hawaii today against an

ICBM. We can protect the continental United States against an ICBM... As the capacity of

the threat increases - that is the size, not just the lethality, of missiles that they may possess

- we need to be concerned about ensuring that our ballistic missile defense capability keeps

pace with that threat. We do think an increase is warranted.“

USD (AT&L), 10 October 2017: “It’s all about velocity. We are trying to get stuff downrange

quickly.”

POTUS, 22 December 2017: POTUS designates funding for MDA’s FY18 Budget

Amendment Missile Defeat and Defense Enhancement effort as “emergency requirements.”

USD (R&E), 13 April 2018: “We have become a process-driven acquisition structure…We

can either keep our process-driven structure, or our technical preeminence…we cannot have

both.”

The Time for Delays and Studies and Objections Is Over...The

Threat Has Voted and Continues to Visibly Vote

--------------------------------------------

MDA is incrementally testing and upgrading electro-optical infrared sensors at two ground stations, one at Aerospace’s Mt Wilson facility and the other at MIT Lincoln Laboratories Firepond facility. We are also testing multiple tracking lasers to better understand their performance against a wide range of targets.

We modified the General Atomics Reaper with

an extended chin mount that allows

unobstructed horizon to horizon

viewing and unique missile tracking

software that use stock Raytheon Multi-

spectral Targeting System sensors.

Over the last two years, we

successfully demonstrated our ability to

precisely track threat representative

missiles using two Reapers to the

quality of service required to launch an

interceptor from a Aegis class

destroyer during multiple BMDS tests.

This year we are integrating the chin

mount onto a new “Big Wing” version of

the Reaper. The MDA-configured Big

Wing will fly up to 45,000 ft for over 30

hours significantly expanding the

airborne sensor test bed performance.

The Block 5 aircraft also includes a

more robust onboard generator. The

generator will be used to power a

unique electric tracking laser that

increases missile tracking precision

and extends the UAVs tracking range.

A limited number of MDA-configured Reapers could provide a mid-term deterrent to escalating threats, augment BMDS radar during outages or fill coverage gaps.

These airborne sensors are a cost effective platform to test new sensor technology and optimize tracking algorithms on our way to fielding a persistent space


Enabling Technology - Discrimination -

• Discrimination:

- Determines which objects resulting from a threat missile launch are lethal (reentry vehicle) or

not lethal (countermeasure decoys and other objects)

• Discrimination Program Mission Summary: - MDA executes an integrated cross-agency threat discrimination improvement program

- Focuses on countering emergent threats to U.S. homeland, forward deployed forces, and allies

- Develops, tests, and delivers Ballistic Missile Defense System discrimination improvements

Near-Term (Fielded by 2018)

• Updated threat definitions in

existing components to mitigate

current enemy threat missile: - Sensors

- Fire Control

- Kill Vehicles (KVs)

• Makes better use of current

sensors to assist Kill Vehicle (KV)

target selection

Mid-Term

(Field by 2021)

• Use available technology to

improve capabilities needed to

further improve countermeasure

mitigation capabilities: - Existing Sensors

- KVs

- Battle Management/Fire Control

- Sensor handover to KV

• Field Long Range Discrimination

Radar (LRDR)

Far-Term (2025+)

• Develop advanced technologies

to mitigate potential future

advanced countermeasures - Field advanced sensors

- Improve integrated discrimination

decision logic in fire control/battle

management

- Further improve sensor handover to

KVs

•

New Challenges - Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGVs) -

• Although proposed since WWII,

technological advances are now

making hypersonic weapons

practicable for our adversaries - High Speed (> Mach 5)

- Highly Maneuverable in low

altitudes

• MDA understands the emerging

threat posed by hypersonic

weapons - Blurs traditional lines between

Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD)

and Air/Cruise Missile Defense

(A/CMD)

- Low flight altitude versus radar

detection range

- High speed shortens timeline

• MDA working with COCOMs and

Services to address this threat - Ongoing Analysis of Alternatives
