missile concept development. The missile trade space is bounded by a system context definition including the mission, threat, launch sites, launcher constraints, sensor capabilities, and BMC3 assumptions. The major compo-nents of the missile concept are (i) the booster propul-sion stack, (ii) the control systems used for each booster
For intercepts against tactical ballistic missile threats, the Block IVA missile is command-guided (via an uplink from the Aegis ship) during the early part of its flight.As the missile approaches the target, the ship supplies designation information that the missile uses to point its IR seeker toward the target.
