B. (U) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MISSION REQUIREMENT AND SYSTEM CAPABILITIES:
(U) The theater ballistic missile (TBM) threat is present and growing in terms of both weapon proliferation and sophistication.
Sea-based assets can provide a significant contribution to theater ballistic missile defense (TBMD) objectives. Development of
a sea-based theater ballistic missile defense capability takes advantage of the attributes of naval forces including overseas
presence, mobility, flexibility, and sustainability in order to provide protection to debarkation ports, coastal airfields, amphibious
objective areas, Allied forces ashore, population centers, and other high value sites. Additionally, in many cases, sea-based
assets will provide the only means to establish an initial TBM defense for the insertion of additional land-based TBMD assets and
other expeditionary forces in an opposed environment. The sea-based area TBMD project builds on the $42B national investment
in AEGIS ships, weapon systems, and missiles. Two classes of ships continue to be deployed with the AEGIS combat system:
the CG-47 Ticonderoga-class cruisers and the DDG-51 Burke-class destroyers. The Secretary of Defense's Bottom-Up Review
(BUR) in FY 94 established Sea-Based Area TBMD as one of the core major acquisition programs for Theater Missile Defense.
Project costs and schedule reflect this priority. he sea-based project is dependent upon receipt of the requested funding. Navy
theater air defense (TAD) programs were consolidated under a new Program Executive Officer (PEO) organization to include
TBMD, cooperative engagement capability (CEC), ship self defense, and battle management/command, control, and
communications (BM/C3).
(U) Attributes of a Sea-based Area TBMD capability supported by the requested funding include:
o Modifications to the AEGIS combat system (ACS) to include software modifications to the command and decision system, the AEGIS display system, and the radar system (AN/SPY-1B/D).
o Modifications to the Navy Standard Missile (SM-2 Block IV) and the AEGIS weapon control system with a Standard Missile (SM-2 Block IV A) in FY 1999 capable of engaging TBMs in the endoatmosphere.*
o A goal of fielding a user operational evaluation system (UOES) consisting of the SM-2 Block IV A and selected, limited non-tactical ACS modifications in FY 1997 if required to counter an existing threat.
* First unit equipped (FUE) is scheduled for FY 1999.
(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.
C. (U) PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PLANS:
(U) FY 1993 Accomplishments:
o Issued Sea-based TBMD Mission Need Statement (MNS) and AEGIS/SM-2 Block IV A Operational Requirements Document (ORD).
o Associated Navy upper tier activities (Milestone 0 with its supporting Cost and Operational Effectiveness Assessment (COEA), THAAD interfacing effort, and Standard Missile/LEAP technology demonstration) with project number 1210, and Marine Corps TBMD activity with project number 2308.
o Completed concept evaluation leading to the definition of the Sea-Based Area TBMD program.
o Commenced design and evaluation of necessary ACS modifications.
o Delivered preliminary SPY radar tracking computer program modifications to support ballistic missile tracking data collection at sea.
o Conducted successful AEGIS tracking experiments in conjunction with TMD Countermeasures Mitigation Program using proof-of-principle special computer program package.
o Conducted critical at-sea tracking experiment using the SPY radar and AEGIS weapon system, with preliminary modifications, to obtain data required for a better understanding of system TBMD capabilities and necessary modifications.
o Identified effort to demonstrate PATRIOT acceptance of SPY radar data.
o Participated in a variety of important analyses and engineering activities pertaining to cueing and tracking experiments.
o Completed concept definition of SM-2 Block IV modifications required to provide TBM interceptor capability. Initiated risk mitigation efforts.
o Demonstrated developmental computer programs to detect and track TBM at extremely long range (almost twice the
instrumented range of the radar).
(U) FY 1994 Plans:
o Continue design of ACS modifications.
o Continue development/design of SM-2 Block IV modifications to provide for capability to intercept TBMs. Continue risk mitigation efforts and flight test round development.
o Demonstrate AEGIS cueing to PATRIOT system in consonance with the JADO/JEZ event. Develop a plan to demonstrate PATRIOT acceptance of remote SPY TBM track data.
o Initiate a request for proposal (RFP) for tactical AEGIS combat system modifications.
o Develop subsystems to the SM-2 Block IV A to support risk reduction flight tests in FY 95.
o Continue computer program development to accept stereo DSP and cue AEGIS to increase track acquisition range
against a TBM.
(U) FY 1995 Plans:
o Complete design of initial ACS computer program modifications to enable TBMD detection, tracking and weapon processing to support an SM-2 missile with TBMD capability.
o Conduct land-based and at-sea experiments to demonstrate automated acceptance of long-range (off ship) cueing and SPY radar acquisition.
o Initiate design and integration for SM-2 Block IV A missile engineering and manufacturing development (EMD).
o Initiate procurement of developmental SM-2 Block IV A missiles to support an FY 97 UOES and planned flight tests.
o Award contract for tactical AEGIS combat system modifications.
o Commence risk reduction flight tests at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) to resolve issues of thermal blur, IR seeker
performance, IR cover survivability and model validation.
(U) Program Plan to Completion: If funding is provided at the levels requested, this effort will continue so as to provide the
UOES of an SM-2 TBMD interceptor variant (SM-2 Block IV A) and necessary AEGIS combat system limited, non-tactical
modifications for 1 ship and 35 missiles by FY 1997. First unit equipped (FUE) is scheduled for FY 1999 and will consist
of a fully integrated AEGIS combat system capable of performing the TBMD mission simultaneously with existing AEGIS
ship missions (ASW, ASUW, Strike, and AAW).
