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. The ICBM Dem/Val Program will provide technology maturation and risk reduction activities to support the Minuteman (MM) III to GBSD transition and beyond. Efforts identify methods to reduce life cycle costs, improve nuclear safety and surety, and ensure strategic missile viability. In FY16, GBSD efforts were transferred to 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.
