Today in the Department of Defense, Friday, January 25, 2002
Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld is in Washington. There are no public or media
events on his schedule.
Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz will host an honor cordon to welcome Afghan
Interim Authority Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah to the Pentagon at 5:15 p.m. today.
See the press advisory for details.
Rear Adm. John D. Stufflebeem, deputy director of operations for current readiness and
capabilities, Joint Staff, will conduct a DoD news briefing today at 1 p.m. EST in the DoD
Briefing Room, Pentagon 2E781.
The Missile Defense Agency and the Navy are scheduled to conduct a Sea-Based Midcourse
Flight Mission 2 test today. The launch window is open from 5 to 9 p.m. EST. The test will
involve the launch of a prototype interceptor missile from the Aegis guided missile
cruiser USS Lake Erie, and the launch of an Aries target missile from the Pacific Missile
Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii. See the press advisory for details.

Sea-Based Midcourse "Fly-By" Missile Test Scheduled
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the Navy will conduct a Sea-Based Midcourse (SMD)
Flight Mission 2 (FM-2) test on Jan. 25, 2002. The launch window is open from 5 to 9 p.m.
EST. The test will involve the launch of a prototype interceptor missile from the Aegis
guided missile cruiser USS Lake Erie, and the launch of an Aries target missile from the
Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Kauai, Hawaii. The FM-2 is a controlled
developmental test and not operationally representative.
Equipped with the Aegis Lightweight Exo-Atmospheric Projectile (LEAP) Kinetic Warhead
(KW), this will be the first exoatmospheric (outside earth's atmosphere) flight of the KW.
In order to gather the necessary engineering data required for the SMD flight test program,
the Standard Missile-3 and KW will be aimed directly at the target, further enhancing data
collection for evaluation. Additional data collection enhancement is achieved by
controlling the target's flight orientation, altitude, attitude and direction. The Aries
ballistic missile target has an on-board transponder for range safety purposes, but will
not aid the radar, the interceptor missile or other systems during the test. Given the flight
path, it is probable the two will collide, but an intercept is not a primary test objective at
this point in the early developmental program. Data gathered from the test will help
program officials learn more about the KW guidance design, simulation models and ground
test program, enabling them to make any necessary corrections to the KW design prior to
the first scheduled intercept test later this spring.

Affairs, at (703) 697-5331 or Lt. Col. Rick Lehner, MDA External Affairs, at (703)
