It has been stored at Victorville since September 20, 2003. The Airborne Surveillance Test Bed (AST) is a BMD asset being used to validate Long Wavelength Infrared (LWIR) sensor functional performance and to collect infrared data on a wide variety of ballistic missile targets. The AST system is a highly capable long wavelength infrared (LWIR) surveillance system testbed which uses a modified (contractor-owned) Boeing 767 as a platform. The system's large field-of-view LWIR sensor is used to accurately measure target infrared signature and position. The AST is frequently used as a surrogate for sensor systems under development. By collecting data and demonstrating sensor performance, the system addresses critical NMD and TMD development issues.
