About

Effective missile defense operations require high fidelity data from forward based sensors in order to quickly respond to threats that can affect the defense of the United States (US) homeland, deployed troops, friends, allies and forward based assets. System capabilities of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) detect and track missile launches in their boost and midcourse phase, and are be able to respond to and destroy threats to the United State Northern Commander (USNORTHCOM) defended area. The GMD Gunnery Program supports US missile defense operations through its ability to accurately train Soldiers in GMD Fire Control system operations to maximize the number of opportunities the US will have available to intercept and negate a threat while minimizing collateral damage to the homeland and global assets.
