Abstract:

The Missile Defense Agency MDA is issuing this Record of Decision ROD to develop, test, deploy, and plan for decommissioning of the Ballistic Missile Defense System BMDS. This decision includes the development, testing, deployment, and planning for decommissioning of land-, sea- and air-based platforms for BMDS weapons components and space-based sensors. This action will enable MDA to develop and field an integrated, layered, BMDS to defend the United States U.S., its deployed forces, allies, and friends against all ranges of enemy ballistic missiles in all phases of flight. The BMDS is a key component of U.S. policy for addressing ballistic missile threats worldwide.
