ICBM - DEM/VAL

Abstract

This program ensures a responsive design and development engineering infrastructure to address emerging issues and technology insertion within the current Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) force and other common mission areas, where appropriate, to develop enhanced multi-use capabilities. Efforts identify methods to reduce life cycle costs, improve nuclear safety and surety, and ensure strategic missile viability. Demonstration and validation projects include guidance applications, reentry vehicles, assessment of current and future propulsion systems, development of enhanced command/control capabilities, and Long Range Planning efforts. This program is in Budget Activity 04 - Advanced Component Development and Prototypes because the efforts demonstrate technology, component and subsystem maturity, and provide risk reduction.
