Putting It All Together<br />

The Missile Defense Agency’s <strong>Target</strong>s<br />

and Countermeasures Single Integration Capability<br />

in Courtland, Alabama, centralizes <strong>LV</strong>-2 fabrication,<br />

integration, testing and shipment. This<br />

one-stop shop builds next-generation <strong>LV</strong>-2 target<br />

missiles and delivers them to test ranges with a<br />

Ship-and-Shoot concept of operations (CONOPS).<br />

Here, common components are pulled from<br />

inventory to build mission-specific targets.<br />

Completed target systems then are shipped to the<br />

test range, fully integrated and ready for launch.<br />

This simplifies integration with the test range,<br />

reduces time at the range and helps to contain the<br />

overall cost for conducting Ballistic Missile<br />
