Missile Defense Systems & Support

To address the need for extremely precise target intercept measurement, Battelle coupled extensive engineering capabilities with world-class science, to develop a ballistic missile intercept detection system capable of precisely measuring the time and location of impact 100 percent of the time.  

Intercept Detection System
Battelle addressed this challenge by developing an intercept detection system utilizing an original design to determine the location of impact and analyze how damage is propagated during missile intercept tests. The system has been successful in every test and includes rapid data transmission from missile to ground station.

Additional capabilities:

Payload Design
Battelle also offers expertise in the development of threat-representative payloads, such as high explosive, chemical and biological warfare stimulants, to provide realistic test results.

Example 1. Design of threat-repsentative payload system.

Ground and Flight Testing Support
Battelle provides a data acquisition system and analytics team that evaluates ground and flight testing capabilities and instrumentation. Employing cutting-edge software and high-speed data collection, we’re able to enhance missile defense lethality testing and support successful threat negation. 

Example 2. Engineers prepare a missile payload for a flight test. 

With engineering capabilities in a broad range of aerospace analysis tools, Battelle is able to design and develop advanced missile defense systems, solutions and technologies. From intercept detection and telemetry systems to payload development and flight support, we can help find the solution.
