UNCLASSIFIED – Unlimited Distribution 3 Background  Objective: By 2010, to field an Active Layered Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence (ALTBMD) capability that will protect forces deployed on NATO missions from theatre ballistic missiles  Progress: On 11 March 2005, the North Atlantic Council approved the Charter for the ALTBMD Programme Management Organisation (PMO)

UNCLASSIFIED – Unlimited Distribution 4 Context  1991 Gulf War  February 25 th. Hit US barracks at Dharan, killing 28 and injuring over 100. Coalition forces knew the ballistic missiles that Iraq developed from Soviet Scud Bs as "Scuds," regardless of Iraq's Arabic names for their longer-range variants. Iraq fired mainly the Al Hussein model at the Kuwait theater of operations and Israel. 88 TBMs launched

UNCLASSIFIED – Unlimited Distribution 7 BMC3I Options  Option 1:Purely autonomous  Option 2:Decentralized (by negation) at level 1; isolated upper-tier systems operate autonomously  Option 3:Centralized at level 1, autonomous elsewhere  Option 4:Decentralized (by negation) at level 1 with coordination  Option 5:Centralized at level 1 with coordination  Option 6:Decentralized (by negation) at level 2  Option 7:Centralized at level 3.

UNCLASSIFIED – Unlimited Distribution 8 Mode of Control Analysis Mode of ControlAdvantagesDisadvantages Commander’s Real Time Level of Control Autonomous-Maximum number of engagements -Maximum kills -Minimum C2 overhead -Minimum engagement delays -Rapid inventory depletion -High wastage -Risk of fratricide None Decentralized (negation with delay) -Inventory management -Reduced wastage -Fewer launches per kill -Engagement continues unless negated -Loss of engagement opportunities -Possible wastage -Risk of fratricide Moderate Decentralized (authorization) -Inventory management -Reduced wastage -Fewer launches per kill -Lower fratricide risk -Loss of engagement opportunities -Possible leakage if no authorization High Centralized-Inventory management -Reduced wastage -Fewer launches per kill -Lower fratricide risk -Loss of engagement opportunities -Possible leakage High  BMC3I system will be required to support all of the modes of control
