Program Narratives

DescriptionGround Based Midcourse

The decrease from Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 to FY 2026 is due to the delay in procurement in accordance with the MDA Increment 10 revised requirements. The Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Weapon System (GWS), as the Midcourse Defense Segment of the Missile Defense System, provides the combatant commands, including United States Northern Command, with a continuously available (24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year) capability for long-range missile defense of the homeland. The GWS leverages integration of Missile Defense sensors from across the globe and consists of a fleet of interceptors, the Ground Based Interceptors today and the Next Generation Interceptors in the future, and the enabling Ground Systems. As a critical component of GWS, the In Flight Interceptor Communications System Data Terminal (IDT) provides the communication link between the GMD Fire Control (GFC) and In-Flight Interceptors. The Phased Array (PA)-IDT retrofit kits, spares, and antenna material are needed to meet emerging threats and support the capabilities of Next Generation Interceptor. A new IDT will be fielded in 2028 and will help protect the United States, its partners, and allies from existing and emerging threats in the Indo-Pacific Region. No procurement funding is requested in FY 2026. FY 2025 provides for the purchase of materials for two (2) Lots of PA-IDT Retrofits and one (1) lot that comprises three (3) sets of Phased Array IDT Operational Spares.
