Book Description
This document describes the analysis performed and results in selecting a suitable launch site, in the Florida Keys, for Theater Missile Defense extended range test targets aimed at intercept points over the Air Force Development Test Center at Eglin AFB Gulf of Mexico test range. The basis of the report is to review the sites in terms of launch safety, potential for environment impact at the sites, and contribution of the site to mission performance. Note, this siting study is not an environmental assessment. It compares only the potential for environmental impact observed at the various sites.

Theater Missile Defense (TMD) Extended Test Range (ETR) Project
Siting Report for Theater Missile Defense Mid-Range Test Launch Complex at Ft. Wingate Depot Activity, NM: Based on Sit Survey, 14-18 February 1994

Languages : en
Pages : 43
Book Description
This study is provided to assess the capability of Ft. Wingate Depot Activity to act as a Ballistic Missile Defense Test Support Complex for the launch of target missiles toward White Sands Missile Range. The study does not recommend action, but it does identify a preferred launch area at Ft. Wingate should a decision to use the Depot as a launch complex take place. The study preceeds decisions based upon the Extended Range Environmental Impact Statement due to the fact that Ft. Wingate Depot Activity has been closed. The installation was nominated for closure in the 1988 Base Realignment and Closure Act and the Army is in the process of releasing the land to other federal and local agencies. The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization has informed the Army that it has a continuing interest in some areas of Ft. Wingate and may have a potential future use of the site. This study supports the identification of 11,800 acres of Ft. Wingate Depot Activity for retention by the Department of Defense until a decision for future use can be made.

Theater Missile Defense Extended Test Range Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement - Eglin Gulf Test Range

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization proposes to enhance the capability of the EGTR to conduct TMD programs. The Proposed Action would include the selection and construction of land-launch facilities; modification of land, sea-surface, and airspace safety zones; the amendment of range operation and support management procedures; and the subsequent conduct of TMD missile system test and training flights within the enhanced EGTR. The preferred alternative would involve target and interceptor launch and support activities at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) sites including Santa Rosa Island and Cape San Blas; Air Drop or air-launch of target missiles; and possible Navy AEGIS ship-launch of interceptor missiles. Alternatives would include target launch and support activities at alternative locations in the Florida Keys(Cudjoe Key or Saddlebunch Keys), target missile launch from a sea-launch vessel, and interceptor launch from offshore platforms off the coast of Santa Rosa Island and Cape San Blas. The No-action Alternative that does not provide extended test capabilities for TMD testing and training in the EGTR is also considered.

Report of the Panel on Reducing Risk in Ballistic Missile Defense Flight Test Programs

Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
This study was initiated by the sponsors to address risk in the flight test programs of BMDO's hit-to-kill (HTK) ballistic missile defense (B MD) systems. The four systems are the Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD); the Patriot-3 System with its Patriot Advanced Capability. 3 (PAC-3) missile; the AEGIS LEAP Interceptor (ALI) Program, which is a risk-reduction program within the Navy Theater Wide (NTW) Defense System; and BMDO's NMD program. This study was motivated by a series of flight test failures in some of these programs failures which indicated a high level of risk. These failures have significantly delayed the planned fielding of BMD systems. The study group members examined current theater missile defense (TMD) programs to address the issues. However, the task was not to evaluate these programs. Rather, the task was to take lessons from these programs that could and should be applied to the NMD program.
