A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION:

(U) This project will provide a Theater Missile Defense (TMD) capability for U.S. Marine Corps operations. This Marine Corps TMD initiative is jointly funded with BMDO and will yield a low-risk, near-term capability for expeditionary forces against short-range ballistic missiles. The program consists of modifying the AN/TPS-59 long-range air surveillance radar and the HAWK weapon system to allow detection, tracking, and engagement of short-range TBMs. The program will also provide a communications interface by developing an Air Defense Communications Platform (ADCP).

(U) Modifications to the TMD mode of the AN/TPS-59 radar will result in TBM target detection at ranges out to 730KM and altitudes up to 150KM. Technical, developmental, and operational testing is scheduled for FY 1996 with first units equipped in early FY 1997.

(U) The HAWK weapon system modifications include upgrades to the battery command post and improvements to the HAWK missile that will result in a missile configuration called the "improved lethality missile." The modified HAWK battery command post will process cueing data to control the high power illuminator radar. The improved lethality missile will incorporate fuse and warhead improvements to 300 improved lethality missiles that have been transferred from the Army to the Marine Corps. Another 700 improved lethality missile modification kits will be procured and installed by the end of FY 1996. Production of the battery command post modification kits began in FY 1995. The installation of all battery command post modifications will be completed by the end of FY 1996.

(U) The Air Defense Communications Platform (ADCP) will convert AN/TPS-59 data messages and Tactical Data Information Link-J (TADIL-J) formatted messages into the intra-battery data link formats required by the HAWK weapon system. The ADCP will also transmit TADIL-J formatted messages to other theater sensors. This communications interface is currently in development and initial production will begin in FY 1997.

(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.

(U) PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PLANS:

(U) The AN/TPS-59, ADCP, and the modified HAWK systems successfully completed developmental flight testing at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) during December, 1995. The testing included aircraft tracking missions, a Lance tracking mission, and two Lance intercept missions. The testing verified the aircraft and TBM tracking performance of the AN/TPS-59 and the communications relay capabilities of the ADCP. The intercept missions demonstrated the Marine Corps' TBM system performance against short range TBMs. These systems are being prepared for operational testing during May, 1996.

(U) FY 1995 Plans and Accomplishments:

PE: 0603863C

o ($15.000M) Completed AN/TPS-59 system integration effort.

o ($ 8.000M) Initiated AN/TPS-59 contractor's developmental tests.

o ($ 3.800M) Initiated ADCP integration and testing.

(U) FY 1996 Plans:

PE: 0603863C

o ($19.676M) Complete AN/TPS-59 integration and testing.

o ($ 1.616M) Complete ADCP integration and testing.

o ($ .720M) Complete HAWK integration and testing.

o ($ .300M) Provide targets for live flight testing.

(U) FY 1997 Plans:

o BMDO participation in the program is completed in FY1996.

(U) FY 1998 Plans:

o BMDO participation in the program is completed in FY1996.

(U) Aquisition Strategy:
