Today’s Realities
POTUS, 23 August 2017: “We are committed to expanding and improving a state of the art
missile defense system to shoot down missiles in flight. And we are getting better and better
at it. It’s actually incredible what’s taking place.”
SECDEF statement, 20 September 2017: "...if we fail to adapt at the speed of relevance,
our forces will lose...“
CJCS, 3 October 2017: "Based on the current capacity of the North Korean threat, both the
type and the amount of missiles that they possess, we can protect Hawaii today against an
ICBM. We can protect the continental United States against an ICBM... As the capacity of
the threat increases - that is the size, not just the lethality, of missiles that they may possess
- we need to be concerned about ensuring that our ballistic missile defense capability keeps
pace with that threat. We do think an increase is warranted.“
USD (AT&L), 10 October 2017: “It’s all about velocity. We are trying to get stuff downrange
quickly.”
POTUS, 22 December 2017: POTUS designates funding for MDA’s FY18 Budget
Amendment Missile Defeat and Defense Enhancement effort as “emergency requirements.”
USD (R&E), 13 April 2018: “We have become a process-driven acquisition structure…We
can either keep our process-driven structure, or our technical preeminence…we cannot have
both.”
The Time for Delays and Studies and Objections Is Over...The
Threat Has Voted and Continues to Visibly Vote

--------------------------------------------
MDA is incrementally testing and upgrading electro-optical infrared sensors at two ground stations, one at Aerospace’s Mt Wilson facility and the other at MIT Lincoln Laboratories Firepond facility. We are also testing multiple tracking lasers to better understand their performance against a wide range of targets.
We modified the General Atomics Reaper with
an extended chin mount that allows
unobstructed horizon to horizon
viewing and unique missile tracking
software that use stock Raytheon Multi-
spectral Targeting System sensors.
Over the last two years, we
successfully demonstrated our ability to
precisely track threat representative
missiles using two Reapers to the
quality of service required to launch an
interceptor from a Aegis class
destroyer during multiple BMDS tests.
This year we are integrating the chin
mount onto a new “Big Wing” version of
the Reaper. The MDA-configured Big
Wing will fly up to 45,000 ft for over 30
hours significantly expanding the
airborne sensor test bed performance.
The Block 5 aircraft also includes a
more robust onboard generator. The
generator will be used to power a
unique electric tracking laser that
increases missile tracking precision
and extends the UAVs tracking range.
A limited number of MDA-configured Reapers could provide a mid-term deterrent to escalating threats, augment BMDS radar during outages or fill coverage gaps.
These airborne sensors are a cost effective platform to test new sensor technology and optimize tracking algorithms on our way to fielding a persistent space

Enabling Technology - Discrimination -
• Discrimination:
- Determines which objects resulting from a threat missile launch are lethal (reentry vehicle) or
not lethal (countermeasure decoys and other objects)
• Discrimination Program Mission Summary: - MDA executes an integrated cross-agency threat discrimination improvement program
- Focuses on countering emergent threats to U.S. homeland, forward deployed forces, and allies
- Develops, tests, and delivers Ballistic Missile Defense System discrimination improvements
Near-Term (Fielded by 2018)
• Updated threat definitions in
existing components to mitigate
current enemy threat missile: - Sensors
- Fire Control
- Kill Vehicles (KVs)
• Makes better use of current
sensors to assist Kill Vehicle (KV)
target selection
Mid-Term
(Field by 2021)
• Use available technology to
improve capabilities needed to
further improve countermeasure
mitigation capabilities: - Existing Sensors
- KVs
- Battle Management/Fire Control
- Sensor handover to KV
• Field Long Range Discrimination
Radar (LRDR)
Far-Term (2025+)
• Develop advanced technologies
to mitigate potential future
advanced countermeasures - Field advanced sensors
- Improve integrated discrimination
decision logic in fire control/battle
management
- Further improve sensor handover to
KVs

New Challenges - Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGVs) -
• Although proposed since WWII,
technological advances are now
making hypersonic weapons
practicable for our adversaries - High Speed (> Mach 5)
- Highly Maneuverable in low
altitudes
• MDA understands the emerging
threat posed by hypersonic
weapons - Blurs traditional lines between
Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD)
and Air/Cruise Missile Defense
(A/CMD)
- Low flight altitude versus radar
detection range
- High speed shortens timeline
• MDA working with COCOMs and
Services to address this threat - Ongoing Analysis of Alternatives
