(U) Development of an effective NMD program requires a close user interface to ensure user and developer consistency with respect to operational requirements, concepts of operation, and integration of multi-service systems. This project supports BMDO's NMD interface with the military operational community through an integrated support and development effort. Through this project the CINCs develop and refine operational requirements, concepts of operation (CONOPS), develop BM/C3 architectures, and formulate and test operational concepts for employment of NMD. User assessments will be performed on each BM/C3 increment capability developed by the BM/C3/SE&I development effort. Analysis, simulations and tests are performed to address system effectiveness of proposed NMD system architectures against near and far term ballistic missile threats. Strategic command and control simulation (C2 Sim) are performed with CINCs to identify roles, missions and requirements for NMD. NMD strategic C2 Sims are the vehicle by which the operational concepts are developed, verified, and integrated into the overall BMD system deployment strategy and planning. Long term objectives are to ensure the successful transition of NMD systems to the user. This project develops information critical to the successful accomplishment of several other NMD projects: 1267 (Ground Based Interceptor), 1151 (Sensors), 1460 (NMD BMC3), 3152 (System Engineering), and 3160 (Deployment Planning).
(U) In FY95 much effort was devoted to refining operational requirements and concept of operations documents. Support included activities required for wargaming, CINC/Services operational evaluation requirements definition of R&D activities, and mission analysis for BMD. Support was also provided to the Army's CONOPS development planning for User Operational Evaluation Systems (UOES). FY95 through FY98 activities will focus on NMD wargames, requirements documentation, and user CONOPS.

| Previous President's Budget | 1,248 | 1,443 | 1,530 | 1,530 | 5,751 |
| Current Budget Submit | 1,226 | 3,000 | 2,780 | 2,780 | 9,786 |
Funding: With the shift to a deployment readiness program focus, extensive user involvement is required to ensure incremental element development on a path to an objective system deployment capability. This results in an accelerated milestone schedule culminating in an FY99 system test.
Schedule: None
Technical: More personnel required to support FY99 System Demonstration Test.
