BMD: Challenges & Opportunities
1
RUSI Missile Defence Conference March 25, 2015
London
Doug Graham Vice President, Missile Systems & Advanced Programs, Lockheed Martin
• Adversaries are continuing to develop and field ballistic missile capabilities
– Also incorporating qualitative improvements designed to stress ballistic missile defense system
performance
• United States and key allies are investing in BMD system development and fielding to address this growing threat
• New, more robust capabilities needed to stay ahead of threat developments
Global Threat Driving Demand

• In production
– 2000+ Missiles & 300 Launcher Modification Kits delivered
• PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) production underway. First Unit Equipped scheduled for September 2015
• MSE Procurement for Foreign Customers approved by the Tri Services Committee
Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Update
• 1st operational unit deployed to Guam
• 7th Battery added to U.S. THAAD program
– THAAD Battery #5 activated in 2015
• Executing first THAAD FMS Case with the UAE
– New Equipment Training begins in 2015
4
• U.S. Army THAAD Institutional Training Base operational in 2015
• Mission success on last 13 Flight Tests, with 11 for 11 Intercepts
– Two flight tests planned in 2015
• Demand for THAAD continues to grow
– U.S. Warfighter demand is driving a requirement for 9 THAAD Batteries
– Significant International interest in Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and now Europe
THAAD is tested, in production, operationally deployed and growing to
meet warfighter requirements around the globe
THAAD Extended Range (ER) What Is It?
• Industry concept for THAAD capability evolution
• Two-stage interceptor for expanded battlespace
• Flexible 2nd stage, paces advancing threats
• Designed to integrate with existing THAAD Battery
Current Status
• ADM C.D. Haney, Commander of US Strategic Command, cited THAAD ER as a “funding priority program” to address the evolving

THAAD ER as a “funding priority program” to address the evolving threat in a February 26 Congressional Hearing
• MDA Budget request in FY 2016 includes THAAD Follow-On:
– $13.5M for risk reduction, concept maturation, threat evaluation
THAAD ER Quarter Scale Model
THAAD ERKey Benefits
• Contain and defeat non-ballistic threats
• Underlay for Homeland Defense (GMD)
• Extended reach for early/multiple shots
• Extends mass raid capability
• No soldier footprint increase for THAAD
Aegis BMD Update • 33 U.S. Navy Aegis BMD Cruisers/Destroyers
– Proliferating new 2nd Generation Integrated Air and Missile Defense (i.e., Launch on Remote) capability throughout the Fleet to Pace the Threat
– 38 Aegis BMD capable ships by 2018
• International Aegis Partners include Japan, Spain, Korea, Norway and Australia– Interest from Canada and Turkey

• MEADS Follow On - MEADS based Air Defense System
• Program status – Anticipating decision by Germany to issue Request For
Proposal
– MEADS participating in the Polish Narew (Short Range Air
Defense) technical dialogues
MDA Targets Update • Operationally-realistic testing against threat-
representative targets is key to validating Ballistic Missile Defense System effectiveness
• Lockheed Martin is currently on contract with the Missile Defense Agency to provide launch vehicles and re-entry vehicles for BMDS testing– 47 of 48 successful target missions since 1996
Air-launched Extended Medium-Range Ballistic Missile Target

– 47 of 48 successful target missions since 1996
• Lockheed Martin United Kingdom (Ampthill) supports all MDA Target systems through the design and manufacture of target payloads
• Preparations are underway to support additional flight test missions in 2015 and 2016
Ground-launched Medium-Range Ballistic Missile Target for Aegis BMD
FTX-20, October 2014
• More reliable, effective and affordable kill vehicle required to maintain GMD effectiveness –Redesigned EKV
• RKV Concept Definition and Program Planning (CDPP) contract
– 3 contractors (Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing)
– Develop concept designs, performance, cost, and
Redesigned EKV (RKV) Status
10
– Develop concept designs, performance, cost, and schedule for RKV development and production
• MDA Leading RKV Design
– MDA sees attractive features in each contractor’s concept
– Formed Best of Breed Team with Lockheed Martin, Raytheon & Boeing
– MDA will own the design and partner with industry team for development and subsequently production
