REVISION HISTORY

INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

This Mission Information Document (MID) provides the mission assurance requirements for a “Construct 2” MRBM-T2 target system procured by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). The US Air Force, Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) Rocket Systems Launch Program (RSLP) office, Space Development and Test Directorate (SD)/Launch Systems Division (SDL), will provide the motors for the SM-2.4 mission. MDA is responsible for mission and Launch Vehicle (LV) integration activities.

The baseline launch location for this mission is TBD.

The target payload for this mission is CLASSIFIED.

0. PURPOSE

The purpose of this document is to provide mission-specific information for the SM-2.4 mission assurance effort by identifying the Launch Service Mission Assurance (LSMA) contract Performance Work Statement scope specific to this mission, and to provide schedule and other mission information required in order to propose and execute Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Construct 2 activities. This MID will:

a. Identify RSLP mission objectives.

b. Identify roles and responsibilities and interfaces of which the mission assurance contractor (MAC) should be aware among the various contractors and Government agencies supporting the mission.

c. Identify the baseline mission execution schedule milestones.

d. Identify any mission-unique launch activities.
