By Jim BennettServing as National Missile Defense program execu-

tive officer, Maj. Gen. Willie B. Nance Jr. heads up oneof the most visible military programs in the United Statestoday � a program that sees daily activity on Kwajalein.Nance came to Kwajalein last week for Integrated FlightTest-5, set for Saturday. The general sat down with theHourglass to talk about the mission and the program.

NMD has come under fire for some time now. Theprogram is featured frequently in the New York Timesand Washington Post. The president and Congressare watching. With this spotlight on the program,how important is the test on July 8?

Integrated Flight Test-5 is very important. By the timewe deploy the system in 2005 we will have conducted21 flight tests, of which 19 will be intercept attempts.Why IFT-5 is so important is that it is the flight testconducted just prior to getting a presidential decision.So the results of IFT-5 will be considered strongly.

There are lots of points of debate about National Mis-sile Defense. And this debate is appropriate given our

The Kwajalein Hourglass

The Hourglass is named for the insigniaof the U.S. Army 7th Infantry Division, whichliberated the island from the forces of Impe-rial Japan on Feb 4, 1944.

The Kwajalein Hourglass is an authorizedpublication for military personnel, federal em-ployees, contractor workers and their familiesassigned to USAKA/KMR. Contents of theHourglass are not necessarily official viewsof, or endorsed by, the U.S. Government, De-partment of Defense, Department of the Armyor USAKA/KMR. It is published Tuesdaysand Fridays using a network printer byRaytheon Range Systems Engineering edito-rial staff, P.O. Box 23, APO AP 96555.Phone: Autovon 254-3539; local 53539.Printed circulation: 2,300

From RSE Solid Waste Managementand Environmental Office

It�s not exactly spring, but residentswill have the chance July 17 to cleanout their cupboards, spruce up theirlawns and dispose of those paintsand pesticides and other hazardousmaterials they�ve been storing.

According to Joe Loer, Solid Wastemanager, the purpose of this specialcleanup day is to encourage resi-dents to clear out vegetation and anyother items from their yards.

Bill Logan, supervisor of SolidWaste Management, and his crew ofaround 20 will be out collecting therefuse.

All non-hazardous materialsshould be set out prior to July 17,and be separated by wood, metal,yard wastes, combustible items and

non-combustible items.Standard garbage and recyclables

such as cans and bottles can be setout on this day, as well as on normalcollection days of Tuesday and Fri-day, Loer added.

�We want to handle hazardouswastes separately,� Loer said. �Again,the idea is to make it very convenientfor everyone to clear out chemicalsthat they are not likely to continueusing. But to avoid spills and makesure the work is safe for the collec-tion crews, we need to have peoplefollow some special rules.�

If residents have any cleaners,paints, pesticides or other suchitems, they must first call the RSEEnvironmental office at 51134 or51135 and request a pickup.

Hazardous wastes should not beset out until Monday morning or setat the curb with general wastes.Residents should set out the hazard-ous wastes they have scheduled forpickup by 9 a.m. on July 17. Thematerials should be set out near thehouse or trailer steps where pick-upcrews can see them but where theyare out of the way.

Island cleanup set for July 17

From the Range Safety OfficeA range operation is scheduled for

Saturday, July 8. Caution times are12:46 p.m. through 8:30 p.m.

In conjunction with this operation,a caution area will exist within Kwa-jalein Atoll. See caution maps in theJuly 5 Hourglass. Bigej Island, in-cluding the inner reef, is specificallyexcluded and is not a part of the mid-atoll corridor. Egress of all air andsea craft will be required when re-quested by authorized clearance per-sonnel. Subsequent to lagoon clear-ance, the hazard area will be in effectuntil mission completion.

In conjunction with this operation,a Kwajalein met rocket is scheduledas soon as possible after the launchfrom Meck Island on July 8. Thecaution areas are also identified inthe July 5 Hourglass.

In the event of a mission slip, thecaution times and areas will be ineffect for the following days:

�12:46 p.m. through 8:30 p.m. Sun-day, July 9.

�12:46 p.m. through 8:30 p.m. Mon-day, July 10.

Questions regarding the safety re-quirements for this mission shouldbe directed to the Command SafetyOffice, range safety officer, 51910.

Caution areas set forJuly 8 IFT-5 mission

Julio Paul, left, and Peter Enjer examine data sheets on hazardous materials collectedlast week. Waste Management will pick up hazardous materials, among other items,July 17 in an islandwide residential cleanup. For hazardous materials pickup oncleanup day, call Environmental in advance at 51134 or 51135.

NMD mission incorporates full-system test ...

Maj. Gen. Willie B. Nance Jr. says that despite outsidepressures, the National Missile Defense team remainsfocused on the mission at hand.

(See INTEGRATED FLIGHT TEST, page 4)

treaty relationships with Russia andthe U.S. initiatives to reduce nuclearweapons stockpiles, There are ques-tions about the potential that theNational Missile Defense systemcould create another arms race.Then there are the questions aboutwill NMD really work. Will it do whatit�s asked to do? Can it be defeatedeasily by counter-measures? Thereare a large array of issues focusingon National Missile Defense.

The integrated flight test series isvery critical to proving the technicalmaturity of the program. And the flighttests are the most visible aspect of theprogram because they are played outon the front pages of the New YorkTimes, Washington Post, Baltimore Sunand other newspapers around thecountry.

The program office is not much in-volved in the political debate or in-ternational debate. But we are di-rectly involved in proving the matu-rity of the system, and the results ofour work here at Kwajalein will beused to help answer those ques-tions.

Integrated Flight Test-5 as an in-tegrated systems test � using all thesystem�s elements to participate �is very important. It will be used as ameasure of the system�s technicalmaturity.

 However, flight tests are not theonly things we do to evaluate systemmaturity. We have a series of groundtests. We do individual testing of allthe elements. We also do modelingand simulation of all the elements.And we do other flight tests that arenot intercepts, called risk reductionflights that perform all the functions

of the system exceptthe intercept. So wehave an array of ac-tivities, tests andother data that wewill be using in theassessments that wewill carry to theSECDEF [Secretaryof Defense] aboutthe technical matu-rity of the system.

But clearly, the in-tegrated flight test iswhat the Americanpublic sees aboutNMD, and what willmake the newspaperheadlines the dayafter the flight test.

Do you feel thepressure, and howdo you, personallyand as a program,deal with it?

I certainly thinkevery person in the program under-stands the significance of the flighttest. This program is watched by theAmerican public, the media, the Con-gress, the White House, and aroundthe world.

I think there is a degree of pres-sure, but I would also say the peopleare handling it tremendously well.They focus on the work they have todo to make the system work, andthey do a great job of it. And that�swhy we�ve made as much progressas we have.

You mentioned deadlines and thedeployment date of 2005. Are youstill on track for that?

2005 is still our target date to de-ploy the system. It is possible toachieve that date unless we run intosome major problems in our testingprogram. We have always character-ized this program as high risk be-cause of the schedule. We don�t be-lieve there is any new science thathas to be developed. We think wehave done that. We don�t think thereare any new technologies that haveto be incorporated. The challengeswill be the integration of the tech-nologies into a system and gettingthat proven through testing in time

to meet our deployment schedule.I think deploying the system by

2005 will be tough. At the sametime, I think it is worth keeping 2005as a goal. We do everything we canto meet 2005. However, we will bediligent to ensure that we do the rightkind of testing and demonstrationof the system so that we have theconfidence that when we deploy thesystem, it�s going to work. We will de-ploy a system that will protect ournation from a limited ballistic mis-sile attack and one that we can haveconfidence in.

The mission incorporates thefirst full-system test, and I under-stand you�ll be assessing the tech-nology involved with the program.Evidently you feel ready, or youwouldn�t be conducting the test.What makes you feel ready andgives you the confidence to say,�Let�s go shoot down a nuclearmissile.�

Readiness for a test is a series ofevaluations over a long period of time.We start out the process months be-fore the first element shows up here.As we build up the components, wehold reviews throughout the process.

Integrated flight test relies on teamwork ...We have held reviews with Raytheon,about the readiness of the kill vehicle� very detailed reviews, two-day re-views, looking at every aspect of thekill vehicle, every component, all thetest data they have developed in theirtesting. Then we shipped the kill ve-hicle to Lockheed-Martin, in Sunny-vale (Calif.), where it was incorpo-rated into the exoatmospheric killvehicle systems test area. That is atest area where we demonstrate theability to integrate it with the pay-load launch vehicle, which is thebooster for the system, and we gothrough a three-week period of de-tailed ground testing. Then we holdanother readiness review. After look-ing at the interceptor that way, weconduct reviews at each of the otherparticipating elements, the Ground-Based Radar Prototype, the BattleManagement Command, Commun-

ication and Control system, as wellas the other participating elements,the early warning radar, the over-head sensors to determine theirreadiness for test.

Each of the major elements� par-ent companies also hold senior levelreviews and we conduct indepen-dent reviews chartered to look at theelements and the system�s readinessfor test. Those review teams are outhere as a part of the test team.

There is an extensive amount oftesting and review to determinereadiness prior to test.

 You, along with the majority ofour readers, grew up during theCold War and the threat of nuclearwar � practice drills at schoolwhere you climbed under yourdesk. Who hasn�t seen the blackand white image of that house be-ing blown away in the blast? Inlight of these decades of fear, how

does the idea, the premise, ofshooting down nuclear missilesstrike you?

I believe our nation needs a Na-tional Missile Defense system. Theconcept, the system we are develop-ing, is to provide a capability to de-fend our nation against a limited at-tack from what is now termed a �stateof concern.� It is not a system that isdesigned to handle a mass raidagainst the U.S. It will not be able tohandle that size of attack. But I dothink it is necessary.

We are seeing the proliferation ofmissile technologies. The �states ofconcern� are aggressively developingcapabilities for ballistic missile sys-tems that will be targeted against U.S.forces operating within a theater, aswell as the capabilities for interconti-nental ballistic missiles that can at-tack the United States. Does the na-tion need the capability to defend it-

self against the potential of a limitedICBM strike against the United States?Our mission is to develop a capabil-ity to ensure all Americans are pro-tected from this threat.

Literally hundreds of people,working in numerous capacities,will make or break this mission.Tell me about the teamwork thatis involved here.

The teamwork is exceptionally welldone. There are hundreds of peopleinvolved. It�s people at Kwajalein. It�speople at the various locations in theU.S., whether it�s Huntsville, Wash-ington D.C., Massachusetts, Colo-rado Springs or California, that areworking every day to make progresson National Missile Defense. And youcan see the progress.

The first aspect of teamwork I see,regardless of where I go, is a greatsense of dedication that this is a mis-sion they are proud of. They believeit is needed, and they�re committedto making it successful.

There�s such a myriad of talentsthat are required for National Mis-sile Defense, from the greatest sci-entific talent our nation has to theguys who are digging the holes onMeck Island to put in the new siloswe need for testing.

The flight test we have coming upis another indication of the teamworkwe have. We bring together for thisflight test the entire array of elementsof National Missile Defense thatmust work together for this missionto be successful. You see the teamsthat come in and work. The testteams come together, work as an in-tegrated team.

The Kwajalein Missile Range is in-volved as eagerly and with as muchdedication as everyone else. They arean integral part of our National Mis-sile Defense team. We rely on themextensively for the facilities and therange support, and they�re doing atremendous job.

A good example of this teamworkwas in Integrated Flight Test-3.About three days before the missionduring one of our countdown re-hearsals, we noticed a problem. Theproblem was the requirement to getthe precise target lift-off time. The lift-off caused a failure in our L -3 simu-lation. I�m sitting there watching thesims, and as soon as it was over, I

noticed there was an apparent con-cern among the console operators.The teams got together, all the teams.They met for 24 hours to come upwith a solution to the problem. If theyhadn�t figured out a solution, wewould have been delayed maybe twomonths, and it would have possiblycost us hundreds of millions of dol-lars. We have a great team servingour nation, as well.

If you could talk to everyoneworking on the mission right beforethe launch, what would you say?

I�d first give them my personalthanks for the tremendous jobthey�re doing and the dedicationthey�re putting into this. We knowthey�re working long hours and withgreat care to make sure we�re readyto fly. We�re going to be successfulbased on their individual dedication.And I�d tell them that many timesthey may not see the importance ofwhat they do individually, but everyone of them has a critical job andevery one of them performs it well.And when we are successful, it isbecause they have done their indi-vidual job as well as their team jobs.So I would tell them thank you, notonly for what they�re doing for theprogram, but also what they�re do-

ing for the nation.Anything we forgot to ask?I would like to add, we�ve been com-

ing out for flight testing, me, person-ally, since October of last year. Theimprovements we�re seeing at thisrange, this facility, this command interms of modernization is tremen-dous. In the last four months sincethe flight test you�ve resurfaced all theroads. The downtown has changed.Very nicely done. I�m surprised somuch work is getting done in so shorta time. The range is making tremen-dous progress.

Are you ready to move out here?[Laughs] I�m ready to continue to

visit for flight-testing. But you dohave a great community here, andwe enjoy the hospitality, letting uscome here and be a part of the com-munity for two or three months get-ting ready for flight tests. They treatus very well, and they do very well insupport of us.  So, our thanks to thefolks of Kwajalein for a great job. I�vehad a chance to visit the facilities atRoi-Namur and here. I talk about mythanks to the [NMD] team, I have tosay thanks to the Kwajalein teamand community for the great workthey�re doing and the hospitality theyhave shown us.
