Abstract:

The Strategic Defense Initiative Organization SDIO and its proponents U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force plan to conduct DemonstrationValidation tests of the BMC3 technology. These tests will demonstrate the ability of the technology to perform the required tasks, and will validate a future decision on whether to proceed with Full-Scale Development. DemonstrationValidation tests would be conducted at the Advanced Research Center, Electronic Systems Division, National Test Facility, Rome Air Development Center, Nevada Test Site, Harry Diamond Laboratories, and at contractor facilities. Tests would include analyses, simulations, and componentassembly tests. This document addresses the potential environmental consequences of the DemonstrationValidation testing of the BMC3 technology.
