(U) This project provides for BMDO planning, oversight and coordination of integrated test and evaluation activities. The project includes inter-element as well as inter-service test and evaluation efforts, and provides infrastructure for common ground test facilities, ranges and instrumentation. Project 3360 funds the common TMD test infrastructure costs including BMDO use. Individual programs pay only the direct costs associated with their specific testing efforts.
(U) The common ground test facilities include:
o Kinetic Kill Vehicle Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulator (KHILS) at Eglin AFB, FL
o Aero-optic Evaluation Center (AOEC) located at Calspan Corp, Buffalo, NY
o Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel Number 9 (Tunnel 9) at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, White Oak, MD

(U) These ground test, range and instrumentation assets provide valuable risk reduction and test implementation capability in support of the TMD test and evaluation. The ground test facilities provide a cost effective method of testing and evaluating applicable component, sub-system and system level technologies. The common range facilities provide a cost effective method of flight testing missile and target components applicable to the TMD program. The range instrumentation provides a cost effective capability to collect target signature characteristics, phenomenology data, and target/interceptor diagnostics on flight tests. These facilities and capabilities support systems design, verification and validation of target realism, and the evaluation of test results.
