Missile Defense Peer Review Journals
Missile defense is a system, weapon, or technology involved in the detection, tracking, interception, and destruction of attacking missiles. Originally conceived as a defense against nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), its application has broadened to include shorter-ranged non-nuclear tactical and theater missiles. Command and control systems is a hardware and software interface that integrates a multitude of sensory
information at a centralized center for the ballistic
missile defense system (BMDS). The command center allows for human management in accordance to the incorporated sensory information- BMDS status, system coverage, and ballistic missile attacks. The interface system helps build an image of the battle scenario or situation which enables the user to select the optimal firing solutions. The first C2BMC system became operational in the year 2004. Since then, many elements have been added to update the C2BMC which act to provide further sensory
information and allow for enhanced communications between combatant commanders. The C2BMC is even capable of initiating live planning system before any engagement has even started. The function of GMD is to provide combatants the ability to seek and destroy intermediate and long range ballistic missiles en route to the US homeland via Ground-based Midcourse Defense systems (GBI). Data is transmitted from the Defense Satellite Communication System (DSCS), and compiles an image using the coordinated information. The GFC is able to relay real-time data once GBI missiles have been launched. The GMD can also work to receive
information from the C2BMC which allows Aegis SPY-1, and TPY-2 to contribute to the defense system.
