Pursuant to Council on Environmental Quality regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act, this document records the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO) decision to implement the Strategic Target System program at the Kauai Test Facility (KTF) located on the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Kauai, Hawaii. The PMRF has been used for fleet training operations and for research and development activities. In addition PMRF launch facilities are used to launch test flights of tactical missiles and other projectiles. The KTF has been the site of more than 300 rocket launches since the facility was first established for that purpose in 1962. The PMRF has launched approximately 800 rockets and targets during the same period. The proposed action will increase these activities by four launches each year over the next ten years. Based on the findings of the EIS, a mitigation plan has been developed which when fully executed, will avoid or reduce to nonsignificant levels environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the Proposed Action.

The Strategic Targets Product Office (STPO) within the Ballistic Missile Targets Joint Project Office of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command is responsible for providing the target launch system for various Risk Reduction Flight and Integrated Flight Test programs. The STPO would provide the Strategic Target System launch vehicle for strategic target launch services from Kodiak Launch Complex, Kodiak Island, Alaska, a commercial rocket launch facility operated by the Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation, licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration. The Strategic Target System target would also continue to be launched from Kauai Test Facility at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Kauai, Hawaii to the broad ocean area near the U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll (USAKA) in the Marshall Islands. The STPO, supporting the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, proposes to increase the launch capability of the Strategic Target System by adding a new Strategic Target System flight trajectory from Kauai Test Facility and providing a launch capability from Kodiak Launch Complex. The Proposed Action would provide ballistic missile targets to test North American sensors, and for possible use in testing various sensors and ground-based interceptors at USAKA and various sensors and ship-based interceptors at PMRF.
