### Project MD22 — Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center (MDIOC)

The MDIOC sustains and operates a mission complex for research, development, testing, training, and operations for Missile Defense System activities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The MDIOC supports the Ground-based Midcourse Defense Mission Control Center Facility, as well as the Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) Integration and Test Centers and the C2BMC Experimentation Laboratories. It provides infrastructure support for the Space Sensors Missile Defense Space Center and the Targets and Countermeasures Mission Control Center - Targets. The MDIOC also provides developmental support to the Enterprise Sensors Laboratory composed of a common satellite ground station and sensor netting test bed for designated Missile Defense System elements. The MDIOC supports Missile Defense System test events based on the Integrated Master Test Plan. It supports Missile Defense System Critical Engagement Conditions testing and analysis through the operation of the Test Execution Control node for distributed Missile Defense System ground tests. During system flight tests, the MDIOC provides infrastructure (power; Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; and communications) support to the Flight Test Director and crew, and ensures the protection of facility and test assets throughout the test window. Further, the MDIOC provides the facilities that support operations of the Missile Defense Element, manned by the U.S. Army 100th Missile Defense Brigade, the United States Northern Command, C2BMC Command and Control Center, and the United States Space Command's (USSPACECOM's) Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense. In addition, the MDIOC supports the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Operations Support Center, which provides situational awareness on the health and status of the end-to-end Missile Defense System. The MDIOC hosts Missile Defense System wargames and exercises in support of the warfighter, and delivers the requisite infrastructure to integrate the modeling and simulation assets that form system-level constructive simulations for full-envelope Missile Defense System performance assessments, with surrogate capability for Missile Defense System ground tests.

### Project MD40 — Program-Wide Support

PWS contains non-headquarters management costs in support of Missile Defense Agency (MDA) functions and activities across the entire Missile Defense System. These functions include Government Civilians and Contract Support Services. This effort provides integrity and oversight of the Missile Defense System as well as supports MDA in the development and evaluation of technologies that will respond to the changing threat. Additionally, PWS includes personnel to support global deployments performing deployment site preparation and activation, and provides facility capabilities for MDA Executing Agent locations worldwide. Other MDA wide costs include: physical and technical security; civilian drug testing; audit readiness; the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program; legal services and settlements; travel and agency training; office, equipment, vehicle, and warehouse leases; utilities and base operations across multiple geographic locations; commercial and ancillary facility services; management of all facility aspects regardless of lifecycle stage; supplies and maintenance; compliance with statutory environmental requirements; data and unified communications support; materiel and readiness and central property management of equipment; Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization (FSRM) program (formerly Real Property Maintenance) to keep the Department's inventory of facilities in good working order; and similar operating expenses. PWS is allocated on a pro-rata basis across most Agency PEs and, therefore, fluctuates per PE by FY based on the total Agency budget in that FY.

### Project MC22 — Cyber Operations

The MDIOC conducts Cyber Defensive Operations through Key Management Infrastructure and Information Assurance Training which interfaces with the Information Technology/Information Assurance Enterprise to provide secure communications, network health and status monitoring, mission critical restoral capability, and technical expertise.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** JACOBS (0.7, 100%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The MDIOC is the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) field operating activity in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The MDIOC provides necessary infrastructure and support services through a mission execution platform for MDA elements/components and designated Combatant Commanders' Missile Defense System operations executing missions at the MDIOC. The Integration and Operations Center is responsible for providing a single, integrated set of skilled personnel matrixed from across MDA to manage this mission.

The Integrated Research and Development for Enterprise Solutions contract is the major contract providing integrated services within the MDIOC. The acquisition strategy for MDIOC mission execution is to employ a contract to perform designated integration and sustainment tasks to conduct Missile Defense System RDT&E. The MDIOC is operated by missile defense subject matter experts composed of government, military, civilian personnel, MDIOC contract support services, and major defense contractors.
