The Ground-Based Interceptor (GBI) is the anti-ballistic missile component of the United States' Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system. This interceptor is made up of a boost vehicle, constructed by Orbital Sciences Corporation, and an Exoatmospheric Kill …

2021年7月26日 · The Ground-based Interceptor (GBI) is a component of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) System. GBIs are silo-launched and intercept ballistic missiles in their midcourse, while they are outside of the atmosphere and at their highest trajectory.

Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD), previously National Missile Defense (NMD), is an anti-ballistic missile system implemented by the United States of America for defense against ballistic missiles, during the midcourse phase of ballistic trajectory flight.

The Ground-Based Interceptor (GBI) missile is the weapon component of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, and consists of a multi-stage rocket booster (BV - Boost Vehicle) and a kinetic kill vehicle (EKV - Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle) for exoatmospheric interception of ballistic missile warheads.

2020年7月24日 · Today, the nation has chosen to add twenty more GBI silos to Fort Greely for a total of 60 silos and 4 silos in Vandenberg AFB, California with 44 of those silos filled with GBIs. These 44 interceptors are made up of 3 generations of upgrades and modifications done over the past 16 years with the latest generation proving a dual salvo intercept.

2019年1月31日 · In coordination with the IFICS, IDT, and other radars and sensors, the mobile GBI is then launched from the TE and guided to its target like a silo-based GBI. Mobile GBIs can be readily moved to existing launch pads and maintained in readiness state.

The GBI site would contain launch stations (silos), Interceptor Receiving and Processing Building, Interceptor Storage Facilities, and additional support facilities.

The Ground Based Interceptor (GBI) is a silo-launched, three-stage rocket consisting of a solid fueled multi-stage boost vehicle and Exo-atmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV), which makes interception of ballistic missile warheads possible using hit-to-kill technology.

2012年8月31日 · Deployment of GBIs began on July 22, 2004 when the first GBI was deployed in a silo at Fort Greely Alaska. By the end of 2004, eight GBIs had been deployed, six in Alaska and two at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

The sixth ballistic missile interceptor was installed in its silo at Fort Greely, Alaska, two months behind the mid-year schedule. An additional eight to ten were to be emplaced in 2005, for a total of 14-16..
