The purpose of the technology demonstration is to identify and address key technology issues involved with incorporating miniature hit to kill interceptors into a tactical weapon system to demonstrate the feasibility of performing high altitude ballistic missile defense from a Navy platform. To support these requirements, the proposed action involves integration and testing of Navy LEAP demonstration technologies. An environmental assessment of the Navy LEAP Technology Demonstration was concluded in September 1992 in a Finding of No Significant Impact. Subsequent changes to the program have precipitated additional analysis. This EA presents an assessment of the potential consequences of conducting flight tests 3, 4 and 5 at Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Virginia. The assessment indicates that no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed changes to the Navy LEAP program.
