This extrapolation process anchors the modeled signatures to measured data. Thousands of modeled signatures are then coupled with an AMSC processing methodology to generate a hypercube of high-fidelity flight envelope signatures that are readily accessible for real-time, hardware-in-the-loop applications. The AMSC efficiently manages digital data, documents and other non-digital media such as film and video at multiple classification levels.
All documents are converted to electronic form for information search and retrieval. For key digital data sets, primary data and metadata are merged into a common standard archive format that permits data recipients to quickly access and exploit data content. Three of the four congressional marks increased the hypersonic defense line by this amount.
One of the most important capability improvements in the budget is space-based tracking sensors, which will be critical for fire control quality data to support both hypersonic and ballistic missile defense. Over the longer term, the planned proliferated Low Earth Orbit pLEO satellite constellation would contribute to both missile defense and defeat. That increased funding will allow MDA to launch two interoperable prototype satellites by July , suggesting the HBTSS budget will grow as the constellation expands.
One place MDA attempted to find savings to fund these new initiatives is more traditional research and development efforts not tied to specific systems Figure For instance, the budget proposes zeroing out the MDA Technology Maturation Initiatives program as a result of a broader shift within DoD directed energy priorities. The Technology Maturation Initiatives program previously included MDA efforts related to directed energy and discrimination sensor demonstrators that would provide the basis for future capabilities.
These proposed cuts or shifts to elsewhere in the Pentagon may not hold up in the face of congressional wishes, in particular on directed energy development. Advanced technology could again be a target for appropriators to add funds, but if the top line remains unchanged, that could mean reductions for other administration priorities. Active air and missile defense for the island, and more specifically for the thousands of U.
Protection of Guam and a small number of other hubs of U. Despite the National Defense Strategy and repeated expressions of desire from U. The Pentagon continues to review the analysis of alternatives to determine the right architecture, but it seems reasonable that a mix of various Navy and Army systems will be involved in a broader, hybrid approach. Guam could be an operational test bed of sorts for future integrated air and missile defense-focused architectures, including not only active defense systems but also long-range missile defeat systems to counter missiles prior to launch.
As such, the significance of air and missile defense for Guam in the realignment of U. Should it go forward, it could become a centerpiece for the evolution of these efforts and for the Pacific Deterrence Initiative. Reflecting this salience, three of the four congressional defense committees increased funding for the program Figure That report has since been submitted, suggesting the conference bills will include some amount of increased Guam defense funding.
Service air and missile defense budgets were relatively flat in the PB. The most notable change in Navy air and missile defense was the decision to procure one rather than the expected two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, though all four defense committees have restored the original two-ship procurement. The Air Force has successfully transferred most of its missile-warning satellite programs to the Space Force. The Army portfolio saw relatively more change in its budget submission than the other services Figure In terms of appropriations, the reductions from to are modest, but the request is a significant drop-off from previous projections.
