Program Narratives
Mission— Program Wide Support
PWS contains non-headquarters management costs in support of Missile Defense Agency (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 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (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; Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization (FSRM) program (formerly Real Property Maintenance) 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.
Mission— Cyber Operations
Guam on-island Cyber team coordinates local network defense activities and assumes responsibility to defend onsite assets from active or imminent cyberspace threats in the event of degraded communication conditions. This Budget Project provides the oversight and inter-Agency/Service coordination for Cyber activities needed for integrating a capability to defend Guam against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile attack.
Mission— Defense of Guam Development
This program develops a Missile Defense System for the Defense of Guam (DoG) against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile threats as a high priority mission for the Department of Defense. The Missile Defense System will form a key part of strategic deterrence and supports the PDI. In FY 2022, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) initiated studies and analysis, architecture development and siting analysis. FY 2023 continued architecture development and increased the development and modification of the distributed radar, Aegis Guam System support, environmental studies, site design, activation and advanced planning. In FY 2024, the program leveraged the results of studies and analysis and continued developing and fielding of distributed land-based launchers, distributed sensors, and integrated communications across Guam. The acquisition approach is to balance costs and associated risks in order to provide increased Aegis Weapon System development for Guam integration, site activation, environmental protection, engineering, and interoperability. FY 2025 continues the advancements of FY 2024, with the completion of an on-island flight experiment in early FY 2025, continued Environmental Studies and Mitigations, and the continuation of the software development phase of the Aegis and Radar components. The activities in FY 2026 include development and integration efforts between MDA, United States (U.S.) Army (USA), U.S. Navy (USN), and U.S. Air Force (USAF) systems, which includes a 360 degree persistent integrated air and missile defense Aegis Guam System with distributed Mk-41 Vertical Launching Systems, and a single Tactical Array Unit (TAU) Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance and Control-6 (AN/TPY-6) and missile uplink/downlink communications system for the DoG. Aegis Guam System will develop capability to leverage track data from Army systems, that is provided via the Joint Track Management Capability - Bridge (JTMC-B), to support Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) Engage on Remote (EoR) capability. The Guam Architecture will be commanded and controlled from the Joint Command Center with additional Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System; Aegis Guam System; Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications mission node and Tactical Operations Center - Light providing local continuity of operations. Initial Aegis Guam System capability was demonstrated on Guam in calendar year (CY) 2024. Aegis Guam System with additional Terminal Defense capability will be delivered in CY 2029.
