The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) invests in new innovative technologies to help defend the United States, its allies, and its friends from increasingly sophisticated ballistic missile threats. From its inception, BMDO and its predecessor, the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO), have supported the development of these technologies for direct integration into weapon systems as well as for spinoffs into commercial applications. The commercial market oftentimes provides the right environment to mature leading-edge technologies that may be too risky or unproven for missile defense. The 2001 Technology Applications Report features BMDO investments that have met commercial success, are being used in military systems, or both. Highlighted technologies are grouped into four sections: computing and communications, materials, sensors and tracking, and energy and propulsion.
