The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description
Mission — Land Based SM-3 (LBSM3)
This program supports development of the Land-Based Standard Missile-3 capability, Aegis Ashore. On 17 September 2009, the President announced an overarching plan to provide regional missile defense to United States (U.S.) deployed forces, allies, and partners in Europe called the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA). The EPAA policy specifically defines a timeline to deploy a mix of afloat and land-based Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capabilities. Aegis Ashore represents one of these land-based capabilities. Aegis Ashore is a key component of EPAA Phases II (Romania) and III (Poland) and provides Aegis BMD capability against short to intermediate-range ballistic missiles in an ashore configuration. Aegis Ashore provides sophisticated engagement strategies and can adapt to threat updates within each sites designated area of responsibility. Aegis Ashore re-hosts the required BMD components of a U.S. Navy Destroyer, including: Army/Navy Surface Radar Surveillance and Control Radar; Vertical Launch System, Computing Infrastructure; Command and Control; Communications; Computers and Intelligence Systems; and Operator Consoles. Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex operates as a test asset that continues to inform Aegis Weapon System and Aegis Combat System developmental efforts, integration of hardware and software upgrades and modernization efforts, and analyzing real time anomalies experienced in testing and in operational scenarios.
Mission — Cyber Operations
Sustain Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Program (DIACAP) and Controls Validation Testing (CVT) activities, analysis of validation results, risk assessments and reviews of proposed Program Manager/Information Assurance Manager Plans of Action and Milestones for MDA Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) mission systems. It maintains the Certification and Accreditation (C&A) data repository, capturing the DIACAP documentation (artifacts, validation results, and Information Assurance Risk Assessment results, and Designated Approving Authority (DAA) accreditation decisions) on all MDA Information Systems.
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 — AEGIS Ashore
Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is responsible for maintaining the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex (AAMDTC) at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF). MDA uses AAMDTC in support of Ground Testing, Aegis Weapon System computer program development testing, fielding (with hardware upgrades), and proof of concept demonstrations. AAMDTC is capable of testing and developing both shore based and sea based Aegis capabilities. In support of European Phased Adaptive Approach Phase III, Aegis Ashore integrates the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) 5.1 and Standard Missile Block IIA capabilities into the Aegis Ashore sites. MDA will provide all upgrades to BMD capability, BMD specific mission equipment, and integration with existing Missile Defense System nodes for all Aegis Ashore sites.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (3)
Network / System Certification and Accreditation (C&A)
Monitor and track cybersecurity mitigation detailed in Information Technology Security Guidance. Activities include preparation of C&A documentation and accreditation recommendations to the MDA Senior Information Assurance Officer /Certification Authority and DAA. Independent Verification and Validation team actions ensure the availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation of the MDA mission, test and administrative systems. Activities in the Project are necessary to comply with the Federal Information Systems Management Act. Recurring Accomplishments: - Provide Cybersecurity engineering and architecture requirements planning for Aegis BMD systems. - Coordinate the development and implementation of Aegis BMD Risk Management Framework (RMF) accreditation packages. - Conduct regular CVT of Aegis BMD systems and provide a Risk Assessment Report to mitigate cybersecurity deficiencies. - Conduct annual cybersecurity reviews on the Aegis BMD systems to assess compliance in implementing and maintaining RMF controls. - Implement hardware/software to conduct continuous daily monitoring. - Conduct monthly reviews of systems through the Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Services (eMass) System. - Provide daily management of eMass. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each Fiscal Year (FY) are as follows:

Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
Aegis Weapon System Development
Operations of the AAMDTC at the PMRF in Hawaii. Develop and test Aegis BMD capability improvements and support advanced radar and combat system studies and engineering analysis to achieve compliance with the MDA's High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) technical requirement and subsequent Defense Threat Reduction Agency/ United States Strategic Command/ European Command certification. Recurring Accomplishments: - Determine the minimum hardware refresh of element components and spares that ensure the test capability at AAMDTC remains current to support warfighter needs. - Provide system engineering, technical, and logistics support for the AAMDTC facility and tactical elements to ensure appropriate system adaptation, readiness, availability, and effectiveness. - Operations of the AAMDTC Weapons System, Computing Infrastructure; Computing Infrastructure; Command and Control; Communications; Computers and Intelligence (C4I), Vertical Launch Systems, and other equipment to ensure the existing system is ready to support Missile Defense System testing.
