The Strategic Targets Project Office, within the Ballistic Missile Targets Joint Project Office of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, proposes to use vanous configurations of a seedant (deuterium fluoride), high explosive, and sensor instrumentation payload package on several target missile launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) to independently verify Ground- based Midcourse Defense Element interceptor effectiveness. The proposed action consists of three main activities. The first would be the transport of the seedant and payload to Vandenberg AFB. The second would be integration of the seedant into the target vehicle. The third activity would be flight testing with the seedant payload aboard the target vehicle. The interceptor missile would be launched from the U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll/Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Test Site with intercept occurring over the Pacific Ocean.
