Intercontinental Ballistic Missile - 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 systems/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. On-going demonstration and validation projects include guidance applications, propulsion applications and Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD), and FY15 restarts funding for reentry vehicles, 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.
