  • Vice Admiral Jon A. Hill, USN Director, Missile Defense Agency Before the House Armed Services Committee Subcommittee on Strategic Forces March 12, 2020
    Vice Admiral Jon A. Hill, USN Director, Missile Defense Agency Before the House Armed Services Committee Subcommittee on Strategic Forces March 12, 2020 Good morning, Chairman Cooper, Ranking Member Turner, distinguished Members of the subcommittee. I appreciate this opportunity to testify before you today. The Missile Defense Agency budget request of $9.187 billion for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 will enable the continued execution of the MDA mission to design, develop and deploy a layered Missile Defense System to defend the United States, deployed forces, allies, and friends from missile attacks in all phases of flight. Working together with the Services, international partners, and industry, the highly skilled and dedicated MDA government and contractor workforce stands ready to develop and deliver ready, reliable, and effective defenses the Nation needs to counter the proliferating and increasingly sophisticated missile threat. Missile Threat – A Significant Inflection Point for Missile Defense Potential adversaries continue to increase the number and capabilities of existing missile systems while adding new types of missile capabilities to their arsenals, creating an inflection point in the missile defense program that will complicate U.S. missile defense operations. Ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles are becoming more capable of carrying conventional and mass destruction payloads farther, faster, and with greater accuracy. New ballistic missile systems feature multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles and maneuverable reentry vehicles, along with decoys and jamming countermeasures. Russia and 1 China are developing advanced cruise missiles and hypersonic missiles. Hypersonic missiles can be launched from ground ballistic missile launchers, released from aircraft, or launched from the sea. These missiles travel along unpredictable flight paths and at low altitudes, making them especially difficult to track and intercept.

    Dan Storck Mount Vernon District Supervisor Fairfax County Board of Supervisors 2511 Parkers Lane Mount Vernon, VA 22306 Telephone: (703) 780-7518 E-mail: [email protected] Joint Board Matter with Supervisor Dan Storck and Chairman Jeffrey McKay Fort Belvoir Liaison February 11, 2020 Fort Belvoir is a Federal Military Base located principally in the Mount Vernon District with more than 50,000 employees who reside throughout the Washington MSA. It has over 150 departments and commands providing administrative, training, and logistical support to the DoD, military branches, the Military District of Washington and Fort Belvoir staff, residents and retirees. Fort Belvoir includes the main base, Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir North, and the future home of the National Museum of the U.S. Army and other installations. They are the largest single employment location in Fairfax County, are home to more than 8,000 residents, operate a world class hospital, their own public works, public safety departments, commissary, golf course, event facilities and many more services. During my 16 years of elected service to Mount Vernon District and Fairfax County, I have worked with nine different Garrison Commanders on many initiatives including BRAC, funding and building a new school, increasing public access, supporting community recreational opportunities, developing IGSAs, etc. that have strengthened our relationship and partnerships. Our significant recent successes are due to Colonel Michael Greenberg’s leadership, the current commander, but, unfortunately, he will be departing in 2020 at the end of this position’s standard two-year tour. What I have learned is that these leadership relationships are crucial to getting things done, require constant renewal and leave many untapped opportunities that more dedicated time and longer-term relationships could grow.

    Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 30, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33745 SUMMARY RL33745 Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) September 30, 2021 Program: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke The Aegis ballistic missile defense (BMD) program, which is carried out by the Missile Defense Specialist in Naval Affairs Agency (MDA) and the Navy, gives Navy Aegis cruisers and destroyers a capability for conducting BMD operations. BMD-capable Aegis ships operate in European waters to defend Europe from potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as Iran, and in in the Western Pacific and the Persian Gulf to provide regional defense against potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as North Korea and Iran. MDA’s FY2022 budget submission states that “by the end of FY 2022 there will be 48 total BMDS [BMD system] capable ships requiring maintenance support.” The Aegis BMD program is funded mostly through MDA’s budget. The Navy’s budget provides additional funding for BMD-related efforts. MDA’s proposed FY2021 budget requested a total of $1,647.9 million (i.e., about $1.6 billion) in procurement and research and development funding for Aegis BMD efforts, including funding for two Aegis Ashore sites in Poland and Romania. MDA’s budget also includes operations and maintenance (O&M) and military construction (MilCon) funding for the Aegis BMD program. Issues for Congress regarding the Aegis BMD program include the following: whether to approve, reject, or modify MDA’s annual procurement and research and development funding requests for the program; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the execution of Aegis BMD program efforts; what role, if any, the Aegis BMD program should play in defending the U.S.

  • Report to the Under Secretary of Defense
    Wind Turbine Analysis for Cape Cod Air Force Station Early Warning Radar and Beale Air Force Base Upgraded Early Warning Radar Spring 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) analyzed the potential impact of utility class wind farms on radars. • Utility class wind farms could have a significant impact on radars, including the missile defense early warning radars (EWRs), the PAVE PAWS radar at Cape Cod AFS, MA, and the Upgraded Early Warning Radar (UEWR) at Beale AFB, CA. • To mitigate this impact, establish and enforce a wind farm offset zone within the effective “line-of-sight” of the radars, taking into account the direct, refracted, and diffracted signals from the radar. This effectively establishes a zone around the radar of approximately twenty-five kilometers, assuming relatively level terrain. • Within twenty-five kilometers, further study would be required to assess the impact accounting for location within the radar’s field of view and the relative height of the wind turbine. • After establishing this offset zone, eliminate any remaining impacts on the radar by using gain control and range gating techniques. 1 History Studies on the effects of windmill farms on military readiness were documented in a 2006 Report to Congressional Defense Committees. That report focused on the effects of wind farms on radars and the resulting potential impact on military readiness. The primary historical data and research efforts were focused on air defense radars, characterized as “Primary Surveillance Radars” (PSR) and Air Traffic Control (ATC) radars. Two fixed-site missile Early Warning Radars (EWR) were mentioned in the report but not examined in detail.
