Gaining Confidence Through System Testing
A key objective of the 7th Annual U.S. Missile Defense Conference is to maintain the legacy of providing a world-class, secure environment for all members of the U.S. Missile Defense Team to meet and discuss key issues facing the development and deployment of missile defense systems in support of national strategic objectives. The national Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) team includes senior leaders, program managers, scientists, and staff in government, defense, and industry, as well as members of active duty, Reserve, and National Guard forces training, testing, and employing missile defenses in support of national security objectives. Finally, the team includes a singular voice from the United Kingdom as we include the UK participating person in all elements of this conference as an element of bilateral transparency.
The conference—hosted by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics(AIAA) in cooperation with Lockheed Martin Corporation, and supported by the U.S. Missile Defense Agency(MDA)—will provide delegates access to the current state of the worldwide BMDS,to include a review of national policies,service priorities, technical advances, and related issues that may support or affect the deployment of the BMDS. Discussions will provide views of the evolutionary development of a worldwide, layered, integrated BMDS; the integration and testing of BMDS capabilities; the status of key BMDS elements; and the current political/policy environment.
This year’s conference will again highlight technical progress in a number of key areas. Papers will be presented in six classified sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday:
- Test and Evaluation
- Sensors and Discrimination
- Systems Integration and Operation
- Weapons Technology
- Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications
- Simulation, Modeling, and Analysis
Conference organizers have developed the three-day program to include invited presentations, selected technical presentations as a result of the Call for Papers, and panel discussions on specific issues related to the development and deployment of a global integrated BMDS able to provide appropriate missile defense for our nation.
Conference participation will be restricted to delegates from the U.S. government and industry who have demonstrated a valid need to know and who have a valid SECRET or higher security clearance. Delegates may NOT represent the interests of non-U.S. entities.
