B. (U) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MISSION REQUIREMENT AND SYSTEM CAPABILITIES:
(U) Provides system engineering, integration and technical management of the Ballistic Missile
Defense (BMD) program, including Theater Missile Defense (TMD) and National Missile Defense Technology
Readiness Program (NMD/TRP) segments. This Congressional Descriptive Summary is a consolidation of
the following FY94 System Engineering and Integration support projects: 2304, 3102, 3103, 3104, 3105,
3108, 3109, 3110, 3111, 3112, 3115, and 4201. These projects constitute the core BMD Systems
Engineering program. In prior years, many of these individual projects were executed via separate
contracts. As a result of the Secretary of Defense's Bottom-Up Review (BUR) in FY94, funding for the
Systems Engineering and Integration activities were reduced to approximately 30% of the FY93 level;
FY94 represents a transition year to a focus on TMD. FY95 represents a planned ramp-up from FY94;
FY95 activities are 50% of the FY93 baseline level. The FY95 effort is consolidated under work
performed through the Systems Engineering and Integration Contract (SEIC). Programs include:
mission/threat/performance analysis, simulation and modelling, logistics supportability and
producibility, and specialty engineering products to ensure overall system effectiveness,
survivability, compatibility and interoperability. In addition, the effort coordinates development of
cost-effective, mission-critical software; identifies and develops critical measurement standards,
unique to BMD requirements, which provide the scientific basis for measurement of BMD system
performance parameters; integrates logistics support, to ensure operational readiness of BMD weapons
systems; defines life-cycle costs, schedule and performance risks; identifies critical technologies to
enhance system performance in order to mitigate future threats; and identifies and tracks critical
producibility and manufacturing (P&M) issues and risks. This effort is also responsible for:
monitoring the U.S. industrial base capability and develops mitigation strategies for P&M issues, as
well as an overall BMDO P&M strategy; development and application of the Surveillance Test Bed (STB),
which provides a digital, multi-sensor simulation, inter-Service data fusion capability. Develop and
integrates Human-In-Control (HIC) command and control simulations (C2 Sims) for the unified and
specified commands and their components. These simulations provide critically needed capability to
refine and validate TMD and NMD/TRP operational requirements and concepts of operations (CONOPS).
This aids the evaluation of alternative command and control architectures and related information
architectures to the requirements allocation process.
(U) This project is assigned to the Budget Activity and Program Element codes as identified in this
descriptive summary in accordance with existing Department of Defense policy. Further justification
of the Budget Activity code assigned to each Program Element is contained within the Brief Description
of Element section of each Program Element Summary.

TMD SEIC scope of work has remained essentially the same as FY93, focussing on priority engineering issues.
o Engineering of TMD system links to global protection and space based weapons has stopped.
o Restructure System Survivability Program for TMD and NMD/TRP.
o Implement BMDO Directive 4280, BMD0 System Survivability policy.
2. SCHEDULE CHANGES:

3. COST CHANGES:
o Systems Engineering and Integration Activities for FY94 were 30% of the FY93 level, FY95
activities will increase from the transitional FY94 level to support TMD integration
activities and interoperability planning as well as increased NMD TRP contingency
planning.
