## What project MX09 buys

Provides Government, contractor, and Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) workforce that manage the overall Aegis Based Defense program and enables the program to develop, build, and test standard missiles and associated Aegis Weapons Systems. Aegis Based Defense, in accordance with negotiated agreements between the United States (U.S.) Navy and the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has identified and segregated funding for Developmental Support of Aegis Based Defense specific elements resident aboard Aegis capable U.S. Navy ships. Computer Program Support consists of, but is not limited to, reviews of Technical Observation Reports (TORs) that are generated by ship crews during exercises or deployments, determination of root causes and preparation of Computer Program Change Request (CPCR) to correct TORs, updates to the in-service computer program to apply, test and certify multiple CPCRs, and tests installation of Aegis Weapon System (Army/Navy Surface Radar Surveillance and Control Radar/Fire Control System) alignment updates as required. Aegis Based Defense provides support to Annual Integration Events to ensure any updated Aegis Combat System computer programs do not degrade Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) equipped ships and provides distance and technical support for BMD equipped ships. Provides Fleet operations and mission support to enable the conduct of sustained BMD operation.
