Download or read book Mobile Sensors Environmental Assessment written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the use of mobile sensors (i.e., radar, telemetry, command and control, and optical systems) from land-based platforms and the use of airborne sensor systems. The use of mobile sensors from sea-based platforms was analyzed in the Mobile Launch Platform Environmental Assessment (Missile Defense Agency [MDA], 2004). This EA considers impacts associated with the proposed use of land-based mobile sensors and airborne sensor systems on targets of opportunity. Where appropriate this EA also considers environmental impacts from specific tests identified by the MDA that are proposed to use land-based mobile sensors and airborne sensor systems. Finally, the EA addresses cumulative impacts associated with test events using mobile sensors from land-based platforms and airborne sensor systems. The purpose of the proposed action is to provide increasingly robust and comprehensive realistic test surveillance and tracking data capabilities in support of the MDA's mission to implement an integrated and effective Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). As BMDS capabilities advance, testing events becomes increasingly complex. Sensors are needed at additional locations to capture data from these events. Mobile land- and airbased sensors provide a more versatile and cost effective method for meeting this requirement than construction of fixed assets at required locations. The proposed action requires the transport, set-up, and operation of mobile land-based sensors (i.e., radar, telemetry, command and control, and optical systems) from land-based platforms and setup and operation of airborne sensor systems.
Book Synopsis 2019 Missile Defense Review by : Department Of Defense
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.

Book excerpt: The Department of Defense's Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is developing a ballistic missile defense system designed to counter a wide spectrum of ballistic missile threats. A future element of this system is the Space Tracking and Surveillance System (STSS). STSS will eventually be composed of a constellation of satellites that will work together to detect and track missiles throughout all phases of their flight. GAO was asked to analyze MDA's approach to demonstrate capabilities for STSS. MDA purposely adopted a strategy that would evolve STSS over time rather than trying to make a big leap in its capability, deferring some requirements, and calling for competition in the development of the sensors aboard the satellite. Recent decisions, however, will limit MDA's ability to achieve its original goals as well as the knowledge that could be gained from its satellite demonstrations. Specifically, MDA recently reduced its efforts to sustain competition by eliminating funds set aside to procure an alternative satellite sensor from a competing contractor. It now plans to fund only efforts to design an alternative sensor. If it chooses to pursue STSS as part of the missile defense system, STSS may end up being more expensive in the future because MDA could be locked into a single contractor for the design and production of the large constellation of satellites. MDA decided to delay development and launch of new demonstrators in order to focus on completing development of two legacy satellites. MDA already knows that it would like to pursue different designs and different technologies for its target system given that the legacy satellites do not support a producible design. As a result, delaying work on the next generation of satellites will delay work that could offer a better basis from which MDA could build an operational capability. MDA's decision to launch in 2007 lacks important knowledge. MDA has established a launch date before it has completed its assessment of the working condition of the equipment it needs to assemble in order to finish building the two satellites it would like to launch. As a result, it does not know the extent of work that must be done or how much it will cost because the number components found to be in working or non-working order have not yet been identified. MDA has considered pursuing alternate approaches, but all are constrained by the need to participate in 2006-2007 missile defense tests. These approaches include (1) launching the legacy satellites in 2008 instead of 2007 and (2) stopping work on the legacy satellites and focusing instead on developing new demonstrators. Both of these approaches would enable MDA to inject more competition into the STSS program, reduce scheduling risks, and demonstrate more capabilities. However, they also have drawbacks; primarily, they would delay MDA's ability to make informed trade-offs on missile defense sensors.

Book Synopsis Missile Defense 2020 by : Thomas Karako
Download or read book Missile Defense 2020 written by Thomas Karako and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In policy pronouncements over the last two administrations, the protection of the American homeland was regularly identified as the first priority of U.S. missile defense efforts. Homeland missile defense today is provided by the Ground-based Midcourse Defense program and other elements of the larger Ballistic Missile Defense System. The limited defenses fielded today have advanced considerably since limited defensive operations began in late 2004, but nevertheless they remain too limited and too modest relative to emerging threats. The Missile Defense Agency’s path to improve the system may require additional effort to stay ahead of even limited missile threats. This report explains how the current system works, as well as current and potential plans to modernize the system, and the authors offer recommendations for future evolution of the system.
