The Navy Theater-Wide (NTW) program was established to investigate the Navy's tremendous and unique potential to provide the U.S. with a crucial, rapidly deployable, highly mobile, and readily sustainable long-range Theater Ballistic Missile Defense (TBMD) capability. To minimize the development risk inherent in this extremely challenging endeavor, the program was divided into several evolutionary phases. The initial phases of the program include a series of technology development and flight test demonstration activities involving the integration of advanced Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) interceptor technologies with existing Navy Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) systems. The flight tests are designed to demonstrate the feasibility and the utility of the NTW concept before formal commitment to a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP).
