Download or read book Missile Defense Agency Target Requirements and Certification Process written by Neal Ortego and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, considerable emphasis has been placed on tighter control over the quality and fidelity of test targets being used by Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs). To this end, the Target Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV & A) process was developed. The VV & A process was designed to ensure that any target under development could trace its physical and signature characteristics and kinematic behavior to detailed, intelligence community-blessed threat specifications. As a target was developed, specification tracking focused on how well the target matched the threat definitions. This often affected the program's ability to conduct an effective test program, especially when the very real constraints of safety, range and treaty limitations were taken into consideration as a program approached its actual test period. The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO), as an organization charged with orchestrating various service-executed MDAPs, followed this strict measure of adherence to threat representation in its management of the test targets program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "MDA proposes to streamline its target development and acquisition process by using common processes and procedures, and common core components to assemble a standardized inventory of target boosters, front sections, and components. This would increase target reliability, minimize cost, and reduce target production time. The EA considers the development, preparation, assembly, integration, testing, transportation, and use of the FTF to support BMDS testing" -- Page 1.
Download or read book 2019 Missile Defense Review written by Department Of Defense and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 Missile Defense Review - January 2019 According to a senior administration official, a number of new technologies are highlighted in the report. The review looks at "the comprehensive environment the United States faces, and our allies and partners face. It does posture forces to be prepared for capabilities that currently exist and that we anticipate in the future." The report calls for major investments from both new technologies and existing systems. This is a very important and insightful report because many of the cost assessments for these technologies in the past, which concluded they were too expensive, are no longer applicable. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it's all there - including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these large documents as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound, full-size (8 1/2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https: //usgovpub.com
Download or read book Missile Defense Certification Examination of the U S Navy Aegis Warship and U S Army Patriot Crew Certification Process written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process employed by Naval Surface Forces to capture information during warfare certification is enabled by a computer-based feedback mechanism. The Surface Force Type Commander employs two information management system models in the form of Training and Operational Readiness Information Service (TORIS) and Training Figure of Merit (TFOM) to report progress, capture data, compare trends, and achieve training and certification process efficiency. These systems have advantages that can be recognized and capitalized upon by other elements within the Ballistic Missile Defense community. This thesis examines how two Ballistic Missile Defense elements Naval Aegis units and Army Patriot units leverage technology to capture data as part of the certification timeline and the degree of alignment between the certification processes of the elements. It is recommended that an initiative be undertaken to record and retain data associated with certification events down to a granular (unit) level. It is further recommended that the Patriot community in particular consider an information technology solution for the issue of unit-level readiness management.
Download or read book The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization s Consolidated Targets Program written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization's (BMDO) Consolidated Targets Program (CTP) provides threat-representative targets and related items for test and evaluation (T & E) activities associated with Theater Missile Defense (TMD) National Missile Defense (NMD) and other Department of Defense (DoD) technology and demonstration programs. The CTP was instituted to centralize planning, management, acquisition, and operations for all BMDO target systems. Through it's primary executing agency, the U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command (USASSDC), this consolidated approach facilitates improved management of target requirements, validation, verification and accreditation (VV & A) processes, and the acquisition and development of credible and cost-effective targets. Based on the test objectives, the user develops and provides target requirements to the CTP. The targets program executing agent, in coordination with the user, analyzes, refines, and costs the target requirements to ensure the user receives the most cost-effective targets which meet the test requirements. The targets program acquisition strategy emphasizes the use of off-the-shelf and excess government equipment in order to reduce development and focus on target systems which allow maximum test flexibility with minimal infrastructure support. Foreign Military Acquisition (FMA) assets are also integrated whenever available and appropriate.

Download or read book Air Launched Target System Concept NMD Testing written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Missile Defense (NMD) targets are essential for system certification. However, current targets have strategic ballistic missile heritage and require fixed land-based facilities for launch operations. In addition, the target mission profile is further constrained by range safety requirements, limited ground data acquisition resources and treaty constraints. The result is a test scenario with a target launch from a known point with a predictable flight profile. The development of a complementary mobile air-launched target system that provides increased flexibility will enhance operational testing. The Target Launch System (TLS) concept includes Target Launch Vehicle (TLV), Carrier Aircraft (CA) and Ground Support (GS). TLS concept components were evaluated against program requirements for reliability, threat representation, treaty constraints, operational flexibility, and range restrictions. The selected NMD TLS uses an air-launched, three-stage TLV operating with existing facility and range assets. The selected concept complies with key NMD test requirements while accommodating range restrictions and treaty constraints. The mobility of he air-launched target will complement ground- based systems and fully stress the NMD system architecture. This is a notional target launch system that has not yet been endorsed by the NMD Joint Program Cffice (JPO).
