How many requirements or objectives can Patriot not meet today due to obsolescence or adversary threat developments? Please provide me the complete list.

Do you support such a partnership between the UAE and the U.S. (e.g., to develop an evolved extended-range THAAD system)?

What is the current DOD regulation and policy concerning MDA's role to develop and maintain BMD capability and its transfer to the military services?

What liability does the contractor bear for quality control failures? Does that liability include costs of failed tests? How much do those cost the taxpayer?

Is it practical to expect MDA to develop and deploy a missile defense-only space-based sensor architecture?

What are the options MDA has studied or is studying to host a missile defense payload on a USG, allied, or commercial space vehicle?

Do you agree with this assessment?

Are there program gaps in ballistic missile defense? Are there gaps you have not yet focused on?

Do you have an unfunded requirements list? What capabilities were requested in the cocom IPLs for FY13-FY17 that didn't appear on the coordinated PCL or ACL?

What would be the total funding required, by system, to meet the combatant command requirement for THAAD and SM-3s and Aegis BMD software and hardware sets?

Are there duplicative reporting requirements that could be consolidated or eliminated?

How much do GAO reviews cost MDA each year?

What are current requirements for CAPE AOAs of MDA programs or proposed programs?

Please identify each CAPE review of an MDA program or proposed program over the past five years.

Are you funded to develop and deploy a defense against boost-glide missiles, like those being developed by Russia and China?

Please identify and summarize the studies MDA has conducted or participated in evaluating missile defense options and limitations against boost-glide systems and maneuvering systems.

Is the MDA taking steps to assure that solid rocket motors will continue to be available to be used for low cost targets in support of BMDS testing?

What steps is the MDA taking to identify and develop new low cost target options to meet emerging testing requirements for intermediate-range (IRBM) and inter-continental (ICBM) ballistic missile threat scenarios.

Are we outpacing the threat? How do you evaluate 'outpacing' the threat?

What kind of intelligence do we need to possess in order for the President to order a preemptive attack on a state possessing nuclear weapons?

What is left-of-launch capability? In other words, you're talking about destroying ballistic missiles on the ground before they're launched at us?

Is this reality (the lack of operational spares referenced in the previous question) an artifact of years of under-investment in the GMD system?

Am I correct that under the current plan for the ground-based midcourse defense system, there are no operational spares GBIs for, is it 5 or 6 years?

Is JLENS important? Why? Is there a gap in our security architecture without it? Please reply in detail.

Please detail any exercises, table top exercises, or war games you have participated in concerning left-of-launch ballistic missile defeat.
