Strategic Sub & Wpns Sys Supt
Abstract
The Joint Warhead Fuze Sustainment Program (0951) is an effort to develop advanced components to improve the reliability, safety, and security of Arming, Fuzing and Firing (AF&F) systems for nuclear reentry systems. The current effort is focused on supporting the alteration of the AF&F system for the MK5/W88 system which will be five years beyond its design life at the scheduled deployment of the AF&F alteration. This effort also supports future utilization of the developed components by the US Air Force and United Kingdom. The Technology Applications Program (2228) supports the TRIDENT II (D5) Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) that provides the U.S. a weapon system with greater accuracy and payload capability as compared to the TRIDENT I (C4) system. TRIDENT II enhances U.S. strategic deterrence providing a survivable, sea-based system capable of engaging the full spectrum of potential targets with fewer submarines. This Program Element supports investigations into new technologies which would help mitigate the program impact due to component obsolescence and a rapidly decreasing manufacturing support base. These efforts include Reentry System Applications and Guidance System Applications which will terminate in 2014. In FY16, Multi-Star Enhanced Prelaunch (MEP) will commence. This will demonstrate the ability to use two stellar sightings to formulate the in-flight correction (rather than one) which may in the future provide relief to the strict tolerance requirements of the strategic navigator on the current OHIO class submarines and the OHIO Class Replacement program. The W78/88-1 Life Extension Program (3097) is an effort to conduct the Navy portion of a Department of Defense/Department of Energy (DOD/DOE) Nuclear Weapons Council initiated Phase 6.2/6.2A investigation of design options and associated feasibility and cost study for a life extension of the Air Force W78 Reentry Vehicle and Navy W88 Reentry Body. The study will evaluate options and select a preferred solution(s) for a common Nuclear Explosive Package (NEP), including improved safety capabilities, which could be integrated into both the W78 and W88 platforms. In addition, the study will conduct a cost study for a refurbishment life extension of the current W88 design. The Integrated Nuclear Weapons Security System (INWSS) (3158) efforts support the Nuclear Weapons Security program and SSBN Escort mission. The policies and requirements regarding the safeguard of nuclear weapons within the Department of Defense is established by DoD S5210.41M. Within the Department of the Navy, nuclear weapons are limited to TRIDENT Fleet Ballistic Missiles (FBM), either deployed aboard TRIDENT submarines or located landside at Naval Submarine Base, Kings Bay, or Naval Submarine Base, Bangor where missiles are first assembled as well as repaired. The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) has assigned the Strategic Systems Programs (SSP), the FBM program manager, with mission responsibility for the safeguard of FBM nuclear technologies. This budget supports efforts directed at improving the current technological baseline through a series of studies. These efforts will improve countermeasure technologies to address detection, delay and denial.

- FY 2013 funding does not include $11M in the Technology Applications Program (2228) that was transferred into the project to cover FY13 rescission as directed in the FY 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act. Funding reduced in FY 2015 to align with revised Joint Warhead Fuze Sustainment Program (0951) schedule, and inflation and working capital adjustments.
