(U) This project provides the Joint Staff and the warfighting Commander-in-Chiefs (CINCs) with the means to ensure that the Theater Missile Defense (TMD) development reflects evolving military needs and the combined warfare capabilities with allies and friends. To accomplish this, there must be clearly articulated tactics, doctrine, policies, and procedures. The three areas which provide this information base to effectively transition TMD capabilities into the existing and planned operational activities and war plans are described below.
(U) The project's primary area is directed toward the refinement of existing and near term TMD capabilities. This is accomplished through the CINC's TMD Assessments Program, which involves the execution of numerous operationally realistic military exercises. These exercises provide the basis for the assessment, development, and improvement of TMD capabilities. Specific activities include the integration of new technology and hardware into the CINC operations, and the integration of User Operational Evaluation Systems (UOES) to examine the effectiveness of architectures and operational concepts. UOES is a prototype operational system of hardware and procedures which will be user-operated for field evaluation purposes. Through the Assessments Program, the CINCs develop Battle Management Command, Control, and Communications (BMC3) architectures, formulate and test operational concepts, and determine or refine operational requirements. This program exercises communications architectures and develops operational concepts that will enable rapid integration of the PATRIOT Advanced Capability (PAC) 3, Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), and Navy Area Theater Ballistic Missile Defense (TBMD) into the theater's warfighting capability. In future years, the CINCs' TMD Assessment Program will continue to develop ways to improve the CINCs' warfighting capabilities and integrate emerging TMD capabilities through simulation and employment of UOES hardware.
(U) The second area focuses on understanding the changing threat and how to best counter that threat. This is accomplished through the conduct of Warfare Analysis Laboratory Exercises (WALEX). Relying primarily on computer simulation tools and real experiences from the CINC's Assessment program, these exercises are performed to educate the TMD development community concerning the challenges presented by the theater missile threat. The WALEX provide forums for discussion of complex issues associated with concepts of operation for existing and future capabilities.
(U) The third area focuses on the integration of warfighter operational requirements with near and far term Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) program development. TMD programs (e.g. THAAD, Navy TBMD, etc) are in various stages of development, and are scheduled for future deployment. This project area ensures that the experiences gleaned from such programs as the CINC's Assessment program are factored into all TMD programs. These programs are to develop and acquire TMD systems and architectures to (a) deploy theater missile defense capability to protect forward-deployed armed forces of the U.S., friends, and allies; and, (b) demonstrate advanced technologies for near term insertion options and concept development of new systems. Analyses and simulations address systems effectiveness of proposed TMD system architectures against ballistic missile threats to U.S. deployed forces, our Allies and friends. Analytical results are also used to support activities required for the Defense acquisition process. Theater and strategic gaming with the CINCs are also supported to identify roles, missions, and requirements for TMD.
(U) In FY95 this project supported United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) execution of Joint Project Optic Cobra, United States European Command (USEUCOM) execution of Joint Project Optic Needle, United States Forces Korea (USFK) execution of Joint Project Ornate Impact, United States Pacific Command (USPACOM) TMD Exercises (KEEN EDGE and ADEX), and USACOM execution of JTF 95-3. These exercises resulted in the identification of new TMD operational procedures, the development of better training techniques for warfighters, and the validation of TMD warfighting policies/procedures. The development of a data link between the Warrior Prep Center (WPC) and the National Test Facility enabled responsive broadcasts across the theater early warning networks. Support was provided for theater and strategic wargaming. Continued to support CINC/services in requirements definition, operational evaluation of research and development activities, and policy/strategy development. Completed BMD mission analyses providing better requirements definition and supported the Army in completing operational concept and planning for UOES.
