AEGIS TBMD

TSC supports both Area and NTW TBMD systems engineering and risk reduction activities to ensure successful introduction of TBMD warfighting capability into AEGIS baselines. The baselines include LINEBACKER, Baseline 6 Phase III, Baseline 7 Phase I, Cruiser Conversion Baselines, and Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) Initiatives.

Navy Area TBMD

The Navy Area TBMD program will provide an initial defensive capability against Tactical Ballistic Missiles. This will be accomplished by building on the successes in the development of the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) and the STANDARD Missile (SM-2) programs. TSC support this effort by assessing simulated performance of various options and participating in the Navy Review Team.

Navy Theater Wide

The Navy Theater Wide Program will provide protection against medium/long-range TBMs for vital political and military assets based on available Sea Room and Ship Operating Areas. The NTW Program builds on the Navy Area System and the Block IV Standard Missile. The NTW design assumes completion of Navy Area modifications in the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) including weapons control, SPY-1 Radar, and Command and Control Systems. TSC provides engineering assessments of system performance to support this program.
