The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) mission is to develop and deploy a layered integrated Missile Defense
System (MDS) to defend the United States, its deployed forces, allies, and friends from missile attacks inall phases of flight. The MDA designs, develops, and delivers capabilities through the Services to meet
Combatant Commands (CCMDS) joint requirements, and sustains advanced missile defense systems as
part of the fully integrated and layered MDS.

MDA’s budget request for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 is$10.4 billion. The FY 2025 budget will continue thedevelopment, rigorous testing and fielding of reliable,
increasingly capable, advanced missile defenses.
The PB25 budget request continues alignment to theNational Defense Strategy which emphasizes Regional
Defense with PRC as the pacing challenge and continued
Defense of the Homeland.
The following summarizes the highlights of major PB
2025 efforts in order of the MDS battle sequence:
Detect, Control, and Engage:
Hypersonic & Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor(HBTSS) and Space-based Kill Assessment (SKA)
request of $120M to
execute HBTSS on-orbit
demonstration of tracking
and targeting capabilities
against hypersonic threats
and continue SKA Hit
Assessment capability for
MDS flight testing.

Missile Defense AN/TPY-2 radar request of $587M toupgrade and sustain 12 radars, continue productionof 1 additional radar to deliver in FY25 (total of 13)
and continue upgrades to improve discrimination
capabilities.
Long Range Discrimination
Radar (LRDR) request of$105M with transfer to US
Space Force (USSF) for operations in FY25 and continue
software development fordiscrimination improvements.
Sea-Based X-band Radar (SBX) request of $197M tocontinue operations at sea and radome replacement.
COBRA DANE Radar & UEWR request of $22M tocontinue sustainment in partnership with USSF.
C2BMC request of $517M to develop expanded
hypersonic threat tracking and integration of spacesensors to warn, track and type advancing threats andsustain the latest deployed C2BMC capability spiral(8.2.5) which includes LRDR support tasking for GMD
homeland defense engagements, initial hypersonicthreat tracking and AN/TPY-2 Space Domain Awareness(SDA) for Combatant Commands and initiate C2BMC
hardware obsolescence upgrades.
Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) requestof $2.7B to continue Next Generation Interceptor
design, development, prototyping, integration andtesting; upgrade and replace existing GMD systeminfrastructure and fire control& kill vehicle software to improve reliability, capability, &cybersecurity resiliency; andprocure long lead items for
Phased Array In Flight Communication System Data Terminal retrofits to improve interceptor inventory management.
Defense of Guam request of $1.2B to continue
development and procurement of the Aegis Guam
System and Vertical Launch Systems; and complete
environmental impact studies and begin construction ofCommand Center Complex supporting missile defense
command and control components, a Transportable
Array Unit (TAU) Complex, and a launcher field complex.
Aegis Missile Defense request of $1.2B to procure 12
SM-3 Block IIA missiles; procure critical SM-3 BlockIB spares (no SM-3 Blk IB
missile procurement inFY25); and continue toprovide additional software
capability development toupgrade IAMD performancein Aegis ships, to include
integration of missile defense capability with AN/
SPY-6 radar for enhanced
engagement capability andincreased raid capacity.
THAAD request of $732M to continue the developmentof THAAD system builds to increase Interceptorcapability and weapon system performance to address
the current and evolving threat, to include significant
improvements which will provide the capability tocounter more advanced threats; procure 12 THAAD
interceptors; and begin initial engineering efforts
supporting integration of the THAAD weapon system
into the Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense
Battle Command System (IBCS) architecture.

Hypersonic Defense request of $182M to continue
development of Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI) capability to address hypersonic missile threats and continue
maturation of critical technology elements.

Missile Defense System Test request of $447M toconduct ground, flight, and cyber testing, maintains
test infrastructure. FY25 Test Highlights: FEM-02(experimental flight test of the Defense of Guaminitial deployment architecture), FTX-40 (tests theAegis Sea-Based Terminal firing an SM-6 against a
hypersonic glide vehicle), FTM-30 (intercept flight
test, demonstrates an SM-3 Block IIA missile against
an MRBM with exo-atmospheric countermeasures),and FTX-26a (an LRDR track exercise required for USSF
operational acceptance of the radar).
Missile Defense System Targets request of $536M todevelop and produce threat representative targets tosupport IMTP.
Israeli Programs request of $500M as part of US-Israeli
MOU to procure and continue development of Israeli
Programs to include Arrow Weapon System, David’s
Sling Weapon System, and Iron Dome Defense System.

In summary, MDA requests $10.4 billion in
FY 2025 for missile defense development efforts
to continue building Warfighter confidence byfocusing on readiness and sustainment, increasing
capability and capacity of fielded homeland andregional defense systems, and increasing thespeed of delivery of advanced technology tocounter the advanced missile threat.
