A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION:

(U) The Boost Phase Intercept (BPI) Study showed the feasibility and utility of using high-altitude, long-endurance UAVs to perform very stressing missile defense mission to protect the state of Israel. A preliminary cost and operational effectiveness assessment concluded that such a system could be very complementary to Arrow, and could be developed quickly with indigenous Israeli technology.

(U) PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PLANS:

(U) FY 1995 Plans and Accomplishments:

o ($2.889M) Joint U.S./Israeli BPI Assessment:

Explore joint BPI missile defense against Theater Missiles in the Middle East using simulations, wargaming and personal interchanges, here and abroad, among appropriate government and military counterparts. Defines what benefit the U.S. gets out of a joint U.S./Israel BPI development program.

Analyze common technology requirements between U.S. Air Force and Israeli BPI concepts.

Explore selected improvements for Israeli BPI missile, and unmanned platforms.

Prepare and deliver final report.

(U) FY 1996 Plans:

This project will continue under Program Element 0603872C, Project 1294.
