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), future strategic capability and other common strategic 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, propulsion applications, reentry vehicles, assessment of current and future propulsion systems, development of enhanced command/control capabilities, and long range planning efforts. BA4 - This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
