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 including the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD), 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 Application Program (GAP), GBSD, Propulsion Application Program (PAP), Reentry Vehicle Application Program (RVAP), Command and Control Applications (C2AP) and Long Range Planning (LRP). Future GBSD efforts will be reflected in PE 0605230F, Ground Based Strategic Deterrent, Project 641025. 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.
