Ballistic Missile Defense Terminal Defense Segment Test

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. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:

Performs all requirements to support flight test execution such as mission planning, pre-flight integration testing, conduct of readiness reviews, test asset transportation, flight test execution and data collection, post flight test reporting and data distribution in accordance with the IMTP. Specific and/or unique planned accomplishments to each FY are as follows:

Ground Test (GT) Execution includes: - THAAD participation in Missile Defense System GT operational scenario events to validate THAAD's ability to conduct coordinated engagements with Aegis and PATRIOT operating with C2BMC and AN/TPY-2. - Pre-mission planning, pre- and post-mission analyses, reporting, and execution to support Missile Defense System Ground and Flight Test campaigns. - GT of element hardware and software prior to hardware-in-the-loop testing to enable an efficient, continuous, capacity-based GT environment. - Continued performance assessments to evaluate system performance and interoperability within the Missile Defense System. - Participation in Wargames and Exercises that support the Combatant Commands with modeling and simulations and subject matter expertise during exercise events. Continue to assist in developing/refining Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures and Pre-Planned Responses to incorporate in future events. Demonstrate THAAD capability to the warfighter community in the Integrated Air and Missile Defense environment. Specific and/or unique planned accomplishments to each FY are as follows:

Resources includes: - On-site range support for THAAD maintenance, repair, and pre-mission analysis to ensure THAAD test asset readiness. - Data management, facilities operations, and post-test reporting in support of Missile Defense System tests to ensure data collection and readiness for mission execution. - Performance Assessments to evaluate system performance and interoperability within the Missile Defense System. Specific and/or unique planned accomplishments to each FY are as follows:

Program Operations provides strategic planning, program integration, acquisition, engineering, financial management, internal reviews and audits, and program assessments for THAAD Test Activities. Specific and/or unique planned accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
