3. 2 Operational Requirements Document (ORD) Analysis 2003 ORD is the primary requirements repository for the modernization of the Launch and Test Range System (LTRS) ORD was written to facilitate spiral development of the LTRS in an incremental fashion Original timelines for meeting incremental ORD requirements have been affected by lack of sufficient funding ORD analysis effort initiated to get a bearing on where HQ AFSPC and SMC are with respect to: Meeting ORD requirements Validating the sense of what requirements are being met by modernization efforts Formulating a future plan to address and meet ORD requirements

6. 5 FRIPT Report Conclusions 1.Sustainment must be the first priority for the ranges in the FY08 POM 2.Costly redundancy is used to compensate for degrading reliability 3.Instrumentation modernization must be defined and defendable for the FY08 POM 4.Range user needs are generally being met and future needs are not well defined 5.Responsive range requirements are currently being defined; ranges can currently meet the scenarios as identified today 6.SPO is addressing most ORD requirements though most are not yet currently met 7.Range technologies have been identified by range user community as potential solutions to certain needs

7. 6 Ballistic Missile Range Safety Technology (BMRST) HQ AFSPC is considering the integration and employment of the BMRST system as a potential asset for use in the Launch and Test Range System (LTRS) architecture BMRST has potential for meeting telemetry and command destruct requirements from the LTRS Operational Requirements Document BMRST was examined via an Integrated Product Team venue with splinter groups researching and reporting on four areas: Requirements, Concept of Employment, Test/Certification, and Logistics AFSPC has tasked 14 AF for it’s operational perspective and analysis and SMC for it’s cost effectiveness and overall system suitability analysis Analysis results will be presented to AFSPC/CC for a decision on integrating BMRST into the operational LTRS architecture

8. 7 BMRST Operational View The Ballistic Missile Range Safety Technology (BMRST) System, with spiral development upgrades, provides telemetry tracking and command destruct system capability in stand-alone or integrated modes of operation

9. 8 Future Range Planning Project Brand new effort catalyzed by the Future Range IPT results and led by SMC/LRR to develop a long-term acquisition plan for the Launch and Test Range System Charter currently under development—intent is to: Develop a cohesive modernization architecture and executable implementation plan Kickoff underway late May 06 Effort to yield POM inputs for FY10 POM

10. 9 Range Launch Traffic Control (RLTC) RLTC Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) Approved at Air Force level on 16 March 2006 Preparing for Joint validation this summer RLTC Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) Study plan under development Still hope to get funding Launch vehicle autonomy critical for near-term interim capability Satellite data relay On-board tracking such as GPS metric tracking Autonomous flight termination Integrated systems health management (ISHM) Adaptive guidance and control
