Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll (USAKA) is a remote (located in the republic of the Marshall Islands), secure activity of the Major Range and Test Facility Base as constituted by DoD Directive 3200.11. Its function is to support test and evaluation of major Army and DoD missile systems, Army Space surveillance and object identification, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientific and space programs. Programs supported include Army missile defense, Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) demonstration/validation tests, Air Force Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) development and operational tests, U.S. Space Surveillance Network, and NASA Space Transportation System (Shuttle) and orbital debris experiments. USAKA supports the Missile Defense Act of 1991 to put in place a Ground Based Defense System by 2006 or earliest date possible. The technical element of USAKA is the Kwajalein Missile Range which consists of a number of sophisticated, one-of-a-kind, radar, optical, telemetry, command/control/communications, and data reduction systems. These systems include the four unique radars of the Kiernan Reentry Measurement Site (KREMS), super Recording Automatic Digital Optical Tracker (RADOT) long range metric video tracking systems, high density data recorders for high data-rate telemetry, and sonobuoy missile impact location system data analysis and reduction hardware and software. USAKA is contractor operated and is therefore totally dependent upon its associated support contractors. Program also provides funds for the contractors to accomplish installation operation and maintenance. In accordance with OSD guidance, Host Nation Compliance resources (Project MAC2) have been realigned to the newly established/restructured RDTE,A Environmental Compliance program elements. Funding is in support of site installations or operations required for general research and development, not allocable to specific R&D missions. This type of activity is appropriately funded in Budget Activity 6.
A. Mission Description and Justification: Project D614 - US Army Kwajalein Atoll: The Army, Air Force, Navy and BMDO have programs planned which have significant test and data gathering requirements at USAKA. Air Force programs require firing at full range with complete data collection during late mid-course and terminal trajectory. BMDO programs require range sensors to collect technical data in support of programs being conducted at USAKA. These test data cannot be obtained except through the use of technical facilities available on and in the vicinity of USAKA. Data collection on objects in space remains significant because the Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) Long-Range Tracking and Instrumentation Radar (ALTAIR), located at USAKA, is one of only three sensors world-wide that has deep-space tracking capability. Programs supported include Air Force programs Peacekeeper, Minuteman III, and Delta; Army/BMDO's Strategic Target System (STARS), Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX), and Theater Missile Defense (TMD) requirements; NASA's Space Transportation System (STS), Orbital Debris Measurement Program, Small Expendable Deployer System and Orbital Debris Radar Calibration Spheres, along with the Air Force Space and Missile Center's associated programs.
