Missile Defense System Targets Program Resources consist of two sub-elements: Systems Engineering/Program Management and Logistics. Systems Engineering/Program Management provides technical direction to meet Target Program requirements while balancing cost, schedule, performance, and risk. It conducts functional requirements allocation to product lines, defines product line specifications/interfaces, performs configuration and data management, and follows guidelines for design reviews. It performs target system analysis to verify system performance, defines target program baselines, controls flight test configurations, and conducts pre and post-flight analysis. It identifies treaty and environmental issues and develops plans for issue resolution. It provides Quality, Safety, and Mission Assurance operations to ensure compliance with MDA requirements for design, test, manufacturing, quality, safety and reliability to ensure high quality products are delivered for test events. It also includes Single Stimulation Framework/Objective Simulation Framework compatible Modeling and Simulation (M&S) execution and improvements to evolve M&S capability; trajectory analyses; signature analyses and characterization; studies to assess alternative target and platform solutions; assessments of risk management; and design approval of government furnished equipment. Specific Systems Engineering Planned Accomplishments include: - Continue Program Management and Business Operations for target components to provide a framework for overall management of the Missile Defense System Targets Program. - Continue providing classified network connections to OGAs so their subject matter experts can be used to support Target requirements. - Continue analyses of future target Launch Vehicles, Re-Entry Vehicles, and launch platforms to ensure they are threat representative and that the Agency is making use of available technology in our future designs. - Continue performing Pedigree Reviews to ensure high probability of mission success. - Continue information technology and classified network support to ensure sensitive target information is not compromised. - Continue Software Independent Verification and Validation to provide risk reduction of flight missions for target systems under development. Missile Defense System Targets Program Logistics support provides target storage, aging surveillance, and transportation of target hardware in support of Missile Defense System testing. Also included are integrated logistics support for facilities, inventory maintenance, spare parts, aging surveillance, disposal, special testing for rocket motor propellants, and other hazardous material handling. This task manages and oversees accountability of all government furnished equipment and contractor acquired property. Logistics also provides common support equipment for launch vehicles, MBRVs, countermeasures, and all up integrated target rounds. It also supports launch site activations through the transportation of support equipment to various test sites. Specific Targets Logistics Planned Accomplishments include: - Continue Multi-Class Inventory storage, aging surveillance, maintenance of existing assets, and transportation support that ensured availability of MBRV and ground support equipment. - Conduct disposal actions of inert assets.

Flight Test Execution is performed by the Target Launch Operations group. This group conducts target mission planning, coordinates target range and mission requirements, and provides target technical information to the MDA's General Counsel to support treaty approvals. The Target Launch Operations Group is the primary link between the target developer and the Missile Defense System test community, incorporating target system constraints into the Missile Defense System mission countdown and launch constraints. Specific and/or unique planned accomplishments to each FY are as follows:

PWS contains non-headquarters management costs in support of MDA functions and activities across the entire Missile Defense System. These functions include Government Civilians and Contract Support Services. This effort provides integrity and oversight of the Missile Defense System as well as supports MDA in the development and evaluation of technologies that will respond to the changing threat. Additionally, PWS includes personnel to support global deployments performing deployment site preparation and activation, and provides facility capabilities for MDA Executing Agent locations worldwide. Other MDA wide costs include: physical and technical security; civilian drug testing; audit readiness; the STEM program; legal services and settlements; travel and agency training; office, equipment, vehicle, and warehouse leases; utilities and base operations across multiple geographic locations; commercial and ancillary facility services; management of all facility aspects regardless of lifecycle stage; supplies and maintenance; compliance with statutory environmental requirements; data and unified communications support; materiel and readiness and central property management of equipment; the FSRM program to keep the Department's inventory of facilities in good working order; and similar operating expenses. PWS is allocated on a pro-rata basis across most Agency PEs; therefore, fluctuates per PE by FY based on the total Agency budget in that FY.
