Mission Description and Budget Item Justification The BMD supporting technology program develops concepts and components for next generation and product improved ballistic missile defense systems. The responsibility for BMD unique and high leverage technology development rests solely with BMDO within the Department of Defense. In order to meet long range defense guidance priorities, a focused, robust component and advanced concept technology development program must be maintained to position the Department to be able to respond to a changing environment and an evolving global missile threat. The program advances the state-of- the-art in those critical functions, components, and subsystems necessary to increase system performance, reliability, maintainability and survivability while reducing acquisition and life cycle cost. This program directly supports those critical related technologies for next generation BMD Systems. The BMD technology program is designed to provide answers to many key R&D issues for developmental and future Theater and National Missile Defense systems. BMDO crafts the program as a component of the overall Department technology area plan. The efforts include: Development of prediction tools to generate high-confidence target signatures for BMD, a critical adjunct to the evaluation of BMD system performance across the full spectrum of threats and engagement scenarios (Project 1155). Advanced sensor technology development which is needed to detect, track, discriminate, and intercept advanced (post-2000) BMD threats. This includes target object map generation on board interceptors, the detection and tracking of low observable targets, and other high leverage sensor technologies (Project 1161). The Advanced Interceptor Materials and Systems Technology (AIMST) program develops and demonstrates the following for interceptor and space surveillance systems: advanced interceptor sensor processing and power components; multifunctional material and structures; low cost interceptor composite manufacturing processes; and low cost flight test demonstrations. These technologies are critical to the deployment of effective, affordable TMD and NMD systems (Project 1270). The culmination of advanced chemical laser systems technologies (Project 1360) to demonstrate integration of high power laser beam with large optics and transition to technology based advances with ground integration efforts. This program also includes important mandated outreach efforts to encourage Small Business Innovation Research, to transition BMD technology to commercial and industrial sectors, and to affirmatively incorporate historically minority and black colleges and universities in development of BMD technology (Project 1660). Provide for the development/modification and validation of modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques and tools that are critical in assessing the projected, alternative, and demonstrated performance capabilities of Theater Missile Defense (TMD) and National Missile Defense (NMD) systems. These large and complex M&S tools require high-performance vector and parallel processing supercomputers, scalar processors, and advanced graphic workstations for operation (Project 3352). Includes manpower authorizations and the associated costs specifically identified and measured to the performance of these program (Project 4000). 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. Further justification of the Budget Activity code assigned to each Program Element is contained within the Brief Description of Element section of each Program Element Summary.

Mission Description and Budget Item Justification To prepare for critical future active defense needs, advanced technology programs will conduct a balanced program of high leverage technologies that yield improved capabilities across a selected range of boost, midcourse, and terminal phase missile defense interceptors, and advanced target sensors, as well as advances in innovative science. The objectives of these investments are subsystems with improved performance, reduced costs for acquisition programs, and technical solution options to counter advanced and unpredicted threats. The Advanced Sensor Technology Program (ASTP) is BMDO's principal advanced sensor program. ASTP is a joint Army, Navy, Air Force technology development and demonstration program, managed by BMDO. The purpose of ASTP is to provide the sensor technology needed to detect, track, and discriminate advanced (post-2000) BMD threats. The technologies for ASTP were chosen through a technology requirements analysis driven by BMD missions, threats, system requirements, and schedules. Care was taken to avoid duplication with other programs both within and external to BMDO. Starting in FY1996, ASTP realigned interceptor-related technology efforts under Project 1270 to correspond with their discriminating interceptor technology focus. The three Services and BMDO are developing technologies in their Project Reliance areas of expertise. The Air Force is developing passive sensor technology, the Army - ladar technology, and the Navy - radar technology. These technologies will be infused from ASTP into BMDO core programs as they mature. In addition to development of critical component technologies, the three Services, in conjunction with BMDO, will combine these critical components in an integrated sensor for demonstrating data fusion by FY2001. Data from the passive, ladar and radar sensors will be combined (fused) in a BMDO-developed fusion processor for tracking and discrimination. Real-time data fusion is a central focus of ASTP. It is identified by the technical requirements analysis as the best solution to the difficult signal processing problem. High-speed data fusion algorithms are under development by BMDO for this critical need. Laboratory and field demonstrations of ASTP technologies are being conducted throughout the program, starting with advanced focal plane imaging demonstrations conducted at White Sands Missile Range, NM (WSMR) in FY95. Larger experiments will permit fusion of radar, infrared, and ladar data beginning in FY96 and FY97, when scaled rocket flights will provide initial collocated multi-sensor data for benchmarking of tracking algorithms. The first integrated demonstration of ASTP subsystems will be at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Kauai, Hawaii ground test facility, where radar and optical sensors will detect and track missiles beginning in FY00. Successful performance of the radar-to-system interface and tracking algorithms will signal the transition to the airborne demonstration phase, which begins in FY01. BMDO has selected a Government system integration team led by Naval Research Laboratory/Navy Air Systems Team (NRL/NAST). This system integrator (SI) will oversee the installation of ASTP equipment at the test ranges, and will integrate the sensors and other equipment into the P-3 aircraft. Additionally, the SI will operate the ASTP equipment during the airborne demonstrations. The technologies under development in ASTP are: Multiple Quantum Well (MQW) Focal Plane Arrays (FPA). MQW FPAs have made rapid progress in the past three years, and are now available in 256x256 format with quantum efficiency approaching 30%. This technology is important due to its potential for high sensitivity, low noise, high uniformity imaging and low production cost. Simultaneous Multi-Color FPAs. FPAs capable of simultaneously measuring two or more Infrared (IR) wavebands will simplify sensor design for both surveillance and interceptor seekers. The result will be highly sensitive, discriminating sensors which are more reliable, lighter, and less costly than currently available Smart FPAs. Pre-processing sensor data on or near the FPA greatly improves processing throughout. This provides the overall processing speed needed for real-time data fusion for accomplishing multiple target tracking, discrimination, and tracking low-observable targets in clutter. Imaging Ladar. Miniature Laser Radar (ladar) integrated with passive sensors will allow precise tracking and discrimination of BMD targets. Ladar capable of range-doppler and 3-dimensional imaging are under development. Eye safe ladar is being developed for airborne applications. The ladar technology is also consistent with interceptor technology requirements. Radar. Reliable booster detection and tracking through cloud-cover requires radar observations. ASTP is leveraging an existing NRL airborne UHF surveillance radar technology program based on the APS-145 to demonstrate TBM detection and early ascent phase tracking. Transmit/Receive (T/R) Modules. The radar T/R Module program will develop and demonstrate technologies required to increase output power and power added efficiency, and reduce the noise figure of 10 Ghz (X-band) T/R modules for use in radars. Real Time Data Fusion Algorithms. Techniques for combining (fusing) data for tracking multiple targets, discrimination, and sensor optimization are under development. The algorithms are critically needed as principal elements of the fusion processor. They are the central focus of the ASTP data fusion effort. Russian American Cooperative Programs: The RAMOS program is a cooperative effort with Russian scientists and engineers to exchange IR data acquired through remote sensing systems and to develop plans for future cooperative space experiments. This program investigates options to leverage off existing funded experiments to foster a closer working relationship at the technology level between both nations. The AGRE is an upper atmospheric joint research project with Russian scientist, using Russian launch vehicles and US/Russian on-board sensor packages, Russian ground optical/radar sites, and US MSX satellite to monitor experiments and collect data. Down Under early Warning Experiment (DUNDEE). DUNDEE is a cooperative advanced BMD sensor and BMC/3 technology research demonstration with the Australian Defense Science Technology Organization (DSTO).

Mission Description and Budget Item Justification To prepare for critical future defense needs, advanced technology programs will invest in a balanced program of high leverage technologies that yield improved capabilities at affordable cost with lower technical and schedule risks for boost phase and terminal missile defense interceptors, advanced target sensors and future space surveillance and defense systems. The objectives of these investments are component and systems technologies with improved performance and reduced costs for acquisition programs, and technical solution options to mitigate advanced and unpredicted threats. The Advanced Interceptor Materials and Systems Technology (AIMST) program develops and demonstrates the following for interceptor and space surveillance systems: advanced interceptor sensor processing and power components; multifunctional material and structures; low cost interceptor composite manufacturing processes; and low cost flight test demonstrations. These technologies are critical to the deployment of effective, affordable TMD and NMD systems. The near-term AIMST projects are planned and executed through direct interchange with System Program Offices (SPOs) and prime contractors responsible for fielding current NMD Technology Readiness and TMD systems hardware. The execution of this comprehensive technology program, however, is slowed by funding limitations. This impedes efforts on near-term technologies that will increase interceptor and sensor performance while lowering deployment costs. The AIMST program consists of six major task programs: Discriminator Interceptor Technology, Materials and Structures, Power Technology, Endo Atmospheric Flight Experiment (EFEX), the Space Technology Research Vehicle (STRV), and the Atmospheric Interceptor Technology (AIT) programs. Discriminator Interceptor Technology Program: The Discriminator Interceptor Technology Program (DITP) develops subsystems necessary to achieve long range threat acquisition and tracking, accurate homing guidance, robust discrimination, and aimpoint selection for autonomous hit-to-kill interceptors. Passive infrared sensors, and laser radars (ladars) are being designed, fabricated, and tested. Emphasis is placed on increasing active sensor output power, miniaturization, and ladar waveform generation to support on-board imaging. The primary goal of the DITP program is interceptor flight demonstrations of the integrated sensor suite, with its data fusion processor and associated discrimination/data fusion algorithms, to demonstrate the performance and readiness of the advanced subsystems to support future form-fit-function upgrades to NMD and TMD interceptors. The Materials and Structures Program: The materials and structures program develops and demonstrates: advanced, low cost to manufacture, multifunctional, composite structural components; adaptive and passive vibration isolation and suppression systems; optical materials and baffle specialty components; and low temperature superconductor LWIR sensor electronics. This program also evaluates new high temperature, composite materials for use in manufacturing propulsion components such as ceramic hot gas lines, combustion chambers, nozzles, and exit cones. Many projects executed under the Materials and Structures Task, which includes the EFEX and STRV programs, rely on cofunding from other agencies (AF, USA, DARPA, NASA) or international partners (UK, Japan). In some cases this cooperative funding represents a substantial portion of the total project cost. Reductions in current or future cooperative funding will adversely impact planned goals and schedules. Power Technology Program: The power program develops concentrator solar arrays (SCARLET) ; electric generators, thermal management components, and power conditioning for GBR; and batteries for TMD and NMD interceptors. The technologies will improve system performance in terms of reducing recurring costs, lowering mass and increasing efficiency. Endo Atmospheric Flight Experiment (EFEX) Program: This multiflight test program will use existing sounding rockets to provide the hypersonic flight environment to validate advanced interceptor technologies. Lightweight, ultrastiff, high temperature, multifunctional structures, optical and structural thermal control concepts, super-tough optical windows and erosion resistant coatings, emergent processing and guidance schemes, miniature inertial systems, advanced shroud concepts, propulsion systems, and dual mode seekers and aperture will be tested. The flight test results will be correlated with aerothermal-mechanical test results from ground-based hypersonic and shock tube facilities in the 3 to 4 km/sec velocity and 20 km to 45 km altitude range. Subsequent tests will emphasize high-G maneuverable flight profiles. Space Technology Research Vehicle Program (STRV-1c/d, STRV-2 and STRV-3): The STRV-2 Experiment Module will consist of an advanced composite structure supporting the following 6 primary payloads: 1) a UK provided Mid-Wavelength Infrared (MWIR) experiment; 2) the Vibration Isolation Suppression System (VISS); 3) the Space Active Modular Materials Experiment System (SAMMES); 4) the Electronic Test Bed (ETB); 5) the Laser Communications Experiment (Lasercom); and 6) the micro-meteoroid & debris (MM&D) experiment. The low outgassing, high stiffness and high strength composite structure is part of the overall experiment providing critical validation for incorporation of this technology in future systems. Multiple sensors will be used to measure local contamination from all sources, including the composites used in structures. The primary payloads form an overall integrated payload. MWIR background/clutter data will be obtained using filters specified by the Space and Missile Tracking System (SMTS) SPO. Data on the space environment at SMTS mission altitudes and its effects on materials, components and systems will be obtained. A one year mission is planned. Efforts have been initiated to conduct follow-on cooperative space experiments with the UK using micro satellites based on the recent US/UK STRV 1a/b program. These UK-provided micro satellites (STRV 1c/d) have a nominal launch planned for Fiscal Year 1999. The experiments to be flown on STRV 1c/d include a Quantum Well Infrared Photometer (QWIP) sensor and a multi-functional composite structure. The Space Technology Research Vehicle-3 (STRV-3) will be a US-led multi-agency, multi- national (UK, US allies) cooperative space experiment effort. The program is in the preliminary discussion stage. Atmospheric Interceptor Technology (AIT) Program: The AIT program will develop, integrate and demonstrate the critical technologies for performing hypersonic hit-to-kill intercepts of TBMs within the atmosphere. The demonstrations will validate the solution to critical KKV technologies and will provide: (1) new capabilities with reduced costs/risks compared to current interceptor weapons systems, and enhancements to other interceptors under development; (2) reduction of technical risks and costs in support of acquisition programs through direct technology insertions; and (3) technical solutions to provide theater defense interceptor capabilities for contingencies not currently addressed by the TMD system programs. The program uses existing contracts and technologies currently under development to reduce schedule and cost, and will be planned and conducted with BMDO, Air Force, Navy, and Army elements to make maximum use of existing Service infrastructures. The AIT project will participate in the UAV/BPI Studies (PMA 1294) and the Navy Theater Wide requirements studies.

Mission Description and Budget Item Justification BMDO's charter is to provide for defense against current and future missile threats. An effective missile defense against a wide variety of current and near-term projected threats will require boost phase intercept capability. The Space Based Laser (SBL) program was created to provide the nation with a highly effective, continuous, global boost phase intercept option for both theater and national missile defense. While BMDO is pursuing numerous terminal and midcourse intercept concepts, this program element, project number 1360, contains DOD's only boost phase intercept program that can provide national missile defense and operate in all theaters, regardless of size, geometry, or weather conditions. This system also provides many ancillary capabilities, including air defense, global surveillance and target detection and designation for other systems. Unique features of an SBL missile defense system include global, 24 hour boost phase intercept capability and defense against surprise first strikes. SBLs can destroy missiles whose range is greater than 75 miles, providing a robust first layer for both theater and national missile defenses-in-depth. SBLs do not require prior knowledge of enemy launch site locations. The footprint of one SBL can cover approximately 10% of the earth. Twenty SBLs could provide overlapping full-time coverage of missile threats from theaters anywhere. Each SBL would be capable of destroying approximately 100 missiles with the initial fuel load. Capability for on-orbit refueling would be provided. An SBL system could defend against missiles without putting the lives of US military personnel at risk. With its long range and speed of light defense, it accomplishes boost phase intercept at the earliest possible moment, offering the highest probability that intercepted missile fragments (possibly containing active chemical/biological or nuclear materials) will fall within the attackers territory, not on defended assets. The directed energy program is structured to address the key critical technical issues: (1) Can a chemical laser be built powerful enough to destroy a missile at militarily useful ranges? (Alpha program); (2) Can mirrors and optics be built large enough and easily enough? (Large Aperture Mirror Program (LAMP) and Large Optical Segment (LOS)); (3) Can the high power beam be controlled adequately? (Large Optics Demonstration Experiment, LODE); (4) Can the high power components of a Space Based Laser be integrated on the ground and operated as a system? (Alpha LAMP Integration (ALI)); (5) Can missile targets be acquired and tracked from space and can a laser be pointed and fired accurately enough? (Acquisition, Tracking, Pointing, and Fire Control, ATP/FC); (6) Can these key components be integrated into a functional unit suitable for space flight and remote operation? (Space Based Laser Readiness Demonstrator (SBLRD) Ground Demonstration); (7) Can the fully integrated system operate adequately on-orbit? (SBLRD). Progress To Date. The program has demonstrated that the answer to questions 1 through 3 (and partially 5) is "yes," and has built devices that perform the respective functions. (1) The Alpha program's high energy chemical laser achieved weapons-class power for the first time in 1991. (2) LAMP and LOS demonstrated the ability to build optics of the required size with the successful fabrication of a 4-meter segmented mirror in 1989 and a key segment of an 11 meter mirror in 1993. (3) The Large Optics Demonstration Experiment (LODE) demonstrated the ability to control the projected (or outgoing) beam in low power laser experiments in 1987. (5) The basic technology of acquiring and tracking missiles and pointing a high power laser beam from ground and space has been demonstrated by a number of programs. The ATP/FC technologies required (sensors, optics, processors, etc.) have been demonstrated at or near performance levels required for the Space Based Laser. Stable low power laser beam pointing from a space platform was demonstrated at the same precision level required for an operational SBL in 1991 during the flight of the Relay Mirror Experiment (RME). Current Status. The major building blocks have been developed, but key system integrations and tests lie ahead. Remaining tasks are: to integrate the high power laser with the large optics beam director and test (Alpha-LAMP Integration (ALI)); to integrate and test ATP/FC hardware and software (High Altitude Balloon Experiment (HABE)); to integrate the high power laser and the large optics beam director hardware with ATP/FC hardware and test; to integrate the system in a space qualified SBL Readiness Demonstrator (SBLRD) vehicle for ground and flight testing. In FY96, Congress provided additional program funding to continue ALI, accelerate design activities for a space demonstration, produce a concept of operations (CONOPs) and design requirements for an operational SBL system, and revitalize the SBL technology development efforts. The increased funding allowed us to preserve vital infrastructure, restore the ALI program to its original scope, and continue the ATP/FC program. PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PLANS: The current plan brings Alpha back to test readiness and, with Congressional added funding, completes ALI high power testing in FY97. The Alpha device and facility have been reactivated and the test team reconstituted. In Sep 96, a high power reactivation test of the Alpha laser device was successfully completed after a down time of over two years. In ALI, all major assemblies were fabricated, integrated, and tested in the test chamber. In Dec 96, an Alpha hot flow test was conducted while performing a low power integration check-out of the ALI beam train. In compliance with Congressional language, design activities for the follow-on space qualified vehicle ground demonstration were restarted, and the Cost Analysis Requirements Document (CARD) was updated with emphasis on the CONOPS, design requirements, satellite design, and launch vehicle design. Design reviews for the demonstrator space vehicle and operational SBL system concepts occurred in Dec 96. The SBLRD test site selection process was restarted. The facility design, site selection, and preliminary environmental assessment for the Space Test Facility (STF) will be completed in FY97. Design activity for the SBLRD is continuing. The ATP/FC program completed fabrication and test of the illuminator laser that will be used in the field experiments. Integration into the High Altitude Balloon Experiment (HABE) platform was completed and testing begun. With the FY97 Congressional added funding, integrated ground testing will be completed in early FY98, and the first flight test will occur in FY99. Work resumed on high payoff advanced technologies. The unique facility (Large Optics Diamond Turning Machine) and capability to build the Alpha resonator optics has been restored, and preliminary fabrication of the new, advanced, lightweight, uncooled resonator optics has begun. Fabrication continues through FY01 and is followed by a high power test of the new uncooled resonator in FY01 (assuming POM funding). Procurement of an uncooled deformable mirror (DM) was initiated. The mirror will be integrated into the high power beam train and tested in FY99.

A portion of the increased funding is used to accelerate completion of the ALI high power test and the HABE active tracking tests so that results can be used for the design of the SBL Readiness Demonstrator (SBLRD). Remaining increased funding is used to begin preparation of the test facility needed to test the SBLRD, continue the design phase, and initiate procurement for long lead items such as the uncooled optics for the laser resonator and the glass for the 4- meter monolithic mirror. This project is responsive in FY97 to the congressional language accompanying the increased funding. This project continues the SBL program in the outyears at a very low level. It preserves the most critical portions of the infrastructure required to maintain an option of deploying highly effective global defenses in the future.

Mission Description and Budget Item Justification To prepare to meet critical future active defense needs, advanced technology programs invest in an aggressive program of high leverage technologies that yield markedly improved capabilities across a selected range of boost phase and terminal defense interceptors, advanced target sensors, and innovative science. The objectives of these investments are to provide: (1) component technologies that offer improved performance or reduced costs for BMDO acquisition programs; (2) a better understanding of the physical processes to support these acquisition programs; and (3) technical solution options to mitigate unpredicted threats. Unlike other BMDO projects that fund near term technology and testing efforts, this advanced technology initiative invests seed money in high-risk technologies that could significantly change how BMD develops future systems. The technologies pursued include: next generation sensors, power, information processing, optics, advanced materials, propulsion and communication. This project causes and exploits breakthroughs in science that will keep BMD at the foremost edge of what is possible. A primary project goal is to conduct proof-of- concept demonstrations that transition technology to development programs. Many of today's baseline technologies on BMDO systems like Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC3), and Ground Based Radar (GBR) are available due to the wise investment in innovative technologies some 10 years ago. Examples include: indium antimonide and mercury cadmium telluride ultra-sensitive infrared detectors; 32-bit radiation hardened Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processors for image analysis; composite materials for lightweight satellite structures; interferometric fiber-optic gyroscopes for sophisticated guidance and control; and solid-state gallium arsenide transmitter/receivers for BMDO radars. The IST program is the only R&D program in the Defense Department focused on future BMDO technical requirements.

Mission Description and Budget Item Justification To prepare for critical future missile defense needs, advanced technology programs will invest in a balanced program of high leverage technologies that yield improved capabilities across a selected range of boost phase and terminal missile defense interceptors, advanced target sensors, and innovative science. The objectives of these investments are component technologies with improved performance or reduced costs for acquisition programs, and technical solution options to mitigate advanced and unpredicted threats. Two specific programs in advanced technology are managed under this project 1. Technology Applications 2. Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions (HBCU/MIs) The Technology Applications Program, established in 1986, makes technology from all parts of BMDO available to federal agencies, state and local governments, and U.S. business and research interests. The program objective is to develop and support the transfer of BMD derived technology to other Department of Defense applications as well as other federal, state and local government agencies, federal laboratories, universities, and the domestic, commercial, and private sector. Incorporation of these technologies by the private sector and other government agencies can result in reduced unit costs and further improvements to be made available for applications in BMDO systems. The HBCU/MI Program increases and improves the participation of minority colleges and institutions in the BMDO program. It also responds to Section 832 of PL 101-510 which establishes a specific goal for HBCU and MIs within the overall five percent goal for minority business contracts and introduces them to BMDO technologies and the particulars of the BMDO procurement process. Each program will focus, to the maximum extent feasible, on innovative technologies in support of future BMD sensor and interceptor systems. These systems will require processing, sensor, power, propulsion, materials and BMC3 capabilities beyond those currently being developed. An important goal of each program is to identify, develop, and demonstrate innovative technologies which will dramatically improve BMD system performance.

Mission Description and Budget Item Justification This project provides for the development/modification and validation of modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques and tools that are critical in assessing the projected, alternative, and demonstrated performance capabilities of Theater Missile Defense (TMD) and National Missile Defense (NMD) systems. These large and complex M&S tools require high-performance vector and parallel processing supercomputers, scalar processors, and advanced graphic workstations for operation. Portions of this processing capability are housed at the Joint National Test Facility (JNTF) in Colorado Springs, CO, and the Advanced Research Center/Simulation Center (ARC/SC) in Huntsville, AL. These facilities operate in a distributed integrated simulation environment and host the modeling and simulation wargames that provide analysis, integration, demonstration, and performance verification of Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) systems. These facilities and the Joint Missile Defense Network (JMDN), which links BMD contractors, Services, and other DoD government facilities, are utilized by all Services. Procedures are established to ensure efficient utilization of these facilities and to provide verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) of the models, simulations, and systems portrayed. This cost effective approach reduces the need for more costly live fire missile test programs and establishes requirements for future technology needs. It promotes enhancements of M&S technologies that support: the acquisition process; the development of fielding of operational capabilities; and the development of common tools, methodologies, and protocols beneficial to data exchange, integration of various models and simulations, and software reusability of M&S applications. Funding for these facilities is distributed through Project 3352. Three Program Elements (PEs) (NMD, TMD, and Support Technology) provided funding. This cost sharing approach ensures cooperation, contributes to achieving synergy across the efforts, and minimizes duplication of modeling and simulation resources. The total funding profile remains flat on an annual basis, with adjustments for inflation. For example, the decrease in TMD funding for JNTF in FY97 is offset by a corresponding increase in NMD funding. These PEs include the costs for operations and maintenance of these facilities which includes: computer hardware and software; communications networks; security; and other essential capabilities necessary to develop and operate configurable, multiple experiment test bed environments. This document describes the support technology portion of funding for these activities.

Mission Description and Budget Item Justification This project provides support in three basic areas: personnel and related support costs; funding to meet cost fluctuations and contract terminations; management overhead required for the Support Technology program.. Personnel and related support costs common to all Support Technology projects include support of the Office of the Director, Ballistic Missile Defense Organization and his staff located within the Washington, DC area, as well as BMDO's Executing Agents within the US Army Space & Strategic Defense Command, U.S. Army PEO Missile Defense, U.S. Navy PEO for Theater Defense, U.S. Air Force PEO office, and the National Test Facility. This project supports funding for overhead/indirect personnel costs, benefits, and infrastructure costs such as rents, utilities, supplies, etc. The BMDO prioritizes funding within this project to meet operational, contractual, and statutory fiscal requirements for the Support Technology program. Operational requirements include reimbursable services acquired through the Defense Business Operating Fund (DBOF), such as accounting services provided by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS). Contractual requirements include reserves for special termination costs on designated contracts and provisions for terminating other programs as required. BMDO has additional requirements to provide for foreign currency fluctuations on its limited number of foreign contracts. Finally, statutory requirements include funding for charges to canceled appropriations in accordance with Public Law 101-510. Assistance required to support BMDO overhead management functions for the Support Technology program is contained in this project. This assistance ranges from operational contracts to fully support functions such as ADP operations, Access control offices, and graphics support, to supportive efforts required, as well as to supplement the BMDO government personnel. Typical efforts include cost estimating, security management, contracts management, strategic relations management and information management. These efforts include assessment of technical project design, development and testing, test planning, assessment of technology maturity and technology integration across BMDO projects; and support of design reviews and technology interface meetings. Program control tasks include assessment of schedule, cost, and performance, with attendant documentation of the many related programmatic issues. The requirement for this area is based on most economical and efficient utilization of contractors versus government personnel. The Fiscal Year 1
