US missile defense in the army budget 2022 «US missile shield»

Bayanalysis - The department continues to support the 2019 Missile Defense Review that calls for layered defense, comprehensive missile defense capabilities, flexibility and adaptability, rigorous attack defense integration and interoperability, and dominance in space.

While the U.S. Army 2021 budget request has made essential investments in lethal force and shifted to strategic competition through innovation, the U.S. Army 2022 budget request continues to develop and introduce a variety of missile defense and defeat (MDD) capabilities to counter the advanced threat.

The U.S. Army 2022 budget builds on past improvements in U.S. MDD capabilities to defend the homeland, deploying forces, allies, and partners against an increasingly complex missile threat.

This U.S. Army 2022 budget request increases missile defense capability and the ability to keep pace with advanced threats, while investing in new alternative approaches to multi-layered national defense (LHD).

The U.S. Army 2022 budget request includes $20.4 billion for MDD, including $8.9 billion for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), $7.7 billion in regional and strategic missile defense capabilities outside of MDA, and $3.8 billion for missile defeat Or the remaining activities of launch. .

In fiscal year 2022, MDA is pursuing a LHD approach that will include improvements to existing regional defense systems to enable a limited core homeland defense capability as well as the development of Next Generation Interceptors (NGI) for Ground Mid-course Defense (GMD).

Improvements to existing regional defense systems will include an ongoing assessment of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) weapon system and the deployment of SM-3 Block IIA missiles to strengthen homeland defenses to defeat ICBM threats.

Also, MDA will continue to evaluate the new High Altitude Area Defense Interceptor (THAAD) prototype in support of the United States' contiguous defense as part of the LHD effort.

This effort will result in a series of technical demonstrations that allow for expanded engagement options and areas of coverage for the THAAD weapon system, culminating in flight testing in fiscal year 2023.

NGI is envisioned to improve system survival and performance against predictable threats.

MDA will continue design and development activities with the award of two competitive intercept development contracts in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021.

The U.S. Army 2022 budget supports the completion of an additional missile field in Alaska to enable an operational fleet of 44 GBI and 20 NGI in the future and the announcement of the initial technological capability of the Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) in Alaska to improve the missile defense system's (MDS) discrimination capability and allow more efficient use of stock GMD.

The U.S. Army 2022 budget reflects the administration's commitment to building integrated, interoperable regional missile defenses with systems deployed by international partners to protect deployed forces, allies, and international partners against short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs), medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs), and intermediate missiles. Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM). For US missile defense capabilities, MDA FY 2022 budget request:

Take advantage of existing structures and regional defense systems to demonstrate complementary national defense capabilities.

If the demonstrations are successful, homeland defense systems could start operating as early as 2025.

-Continues to develop LHD to increase GMD by exploring potential contributions from Aegis BMD, Aegis SM-3 Block IIA interceptors, and THAAD and evaluation studies to inform management decisions on the way forward for LHD.

Development of the NGI Comprehensive Round (AUR) continues to enhance the national defense intercept capability and the ability to increase the size of the existing fleet to 64 interceptors (44 GBI and 20 NGI) early in the end of the decade.

Supports US Forces in Korea (USFK) to improve the missile defense capability of the Korean Peninsula.

Includes Space Development Agency (SDA) missile defense investment to develop and demonstrate a hypersonic tracking layer by fiscal year 2023.

In addition, SDA is developing a data transfer layer that will enhance several mission areas to include missile defense.

Hypersonic Defense supports and continues to evaluate architectural alternatives and make recommendations for hypersonic missile defense configurations to keep pace with evolving threats.

Further development of the HBTSS space-based sensor in cooperation with the US Space Force and the Space Development Agency (SDA).

Collaboration continues with the US Navy, to support and operate the Aegis Ashore site in Romania and deploy a second site in Poland, as an integral part of NATO's BMD architecture.

- Continues to increase the capacity and capacity of the Aegis fleet's ballistic missile defense system and purchases additional Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IB missiles for deployment on Aegis BMD ships and at Aegis Ashore sites as part of multi-year procurement; SM-3 Block IIA continued to be integrated into Aegis BMD weapon systems; Buy additional SM-3

Block IIA missiles to contribute to defense against longer range and more complex threats; ensures the maturity of the manufacturing process; It continues to develop the Naval Station's ability to protect the fleet and forces on shore.

Provides funding for THAAD development efforts and program upgrades such as implementing resilient threat packages and defense planning, improving the ability to deal with short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) and (MRBM) threats, and IRBM limited threats, and integrating THAAD battery capacity into the Army's integrated air defense and missile battle command System Planning Process (IBCS).

The THAAD budget request also includes funding for the purchase of an additional 18 THAAD interceptors in fiscal year 2022 as well as operational support to maintain and maintain the unique elements of the BMD system from field-used THAAD batteries andfor training devices.

Provides funding to perform systems engineering required to design, build, test, evaluate and introduce an integrated MDS system.

Provides funding to implement a comprehensive, highly integrated, complex, and cost-effective series of flight tests, ground tests, cybersecurity tests, war games and exercises to ensure MDS capabilities are reliably demonstrated and validated prior to delivery to Warfighter.

Continuing support for Israel's cooperative ballistic missile defense programs, to include US funding for the Iron Dome System to Defeat Short-Range Missiles and Missiles, and the joint development and co-production of David's Sling Weapon System and Arrow-3.

Outside of MDA, the administration has invested approximately $7.7 billion in regional and strategic missiles

Defensive capabilities including:
 The Air Force and Space Forces total investment of $2.8 billion to modernize and support strategic and tactical warning and tracking systems.

These investments include the next generation of fixed overhead infrared infrared to track ballistic and hypersonic threats, improved early warning radars, and wide-area surveillance in the National Capital Region.

The Army's total investment of $2.4 billion to enhance regional missile defense capability.

These investments include the purchase of 180 PAC-3/MSE missiles in fiscal year 2022 and the planned urgent material launch of the lower-level air and missile defense system by fiscal year 2022 and four maneuverable short-range air defense battalions by fiscal year 2023.

Total naval investment of $2.0 billion, with a focus on ship-based defense of regional and strategic threats.

These investments include the Aegis ballistic missile defense weapon system, the purchase of standard cruise missile defense, ballistic and hypersonic missiles, and E-2D Hawkeye sensing capabilities.

Defense investment totals $0.5 billion, focusing on joint air and missile defense research and development, advanced innovation technologies, and missile defense technology offerings. Finally, the department plans to continue investing in the remaining capabilities of the launch that involve electronic operations as well as the hypersonic strike.
