DOD's action to terminate the most recent DSP follow-on program and begin a new effort provides an opportunity to fully assess the needs for early missile warning information. DOD's current plans to replace DSP with ALARM will require a comprehensive analysis that includes (1) reviewing and validating operational requirements, (2) selecting the most cost-effective alternative from plausible candidate systems, (3) ensuring that the system selected is affordable, (4) demonstrating that an adequate transition can be made from DSP to ALARM to avoid coverage gaps, and (5) evaluating the launch vehicle implications for DSP.
