Intercontinental Ballistic Missile - Dem/Val
Abstract
This program ensures a responsive design and development engineering infrastructure to address emerging issues and technology insertion/technology application on legacy Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), future strategic systems/capability beyond the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) baseline, and other common strategic deterrent mission areas to develop enhanced multi-use capabilities. The ICBM Dem/Val program will provide technology maturation and risk reduction activities to support Minuteman (MM) III sustainment, MM III to GBSD transition, and future ICBM systems development. ICBM Dem/Val conducts advanced component development and prototyping to validate emerging strategic missile technologies and future upgrades to the baseline Ground Based Strategic Deterrent, currently in development through a low risk, technologically-mature acquisition strategy. Efforts will identify methods to improve system performance, develop potential future RV designs, mitigate evolving threats, reduce life cycle costs, develop/expand modeling/simulation and experimental platforms for weapon qualification activities, improve nuclear safety and surety, and ensure both viability and durability of strategic missile systems. Budget increase from FY19 to FY20 largely due to $9.5M mark in FY19 for ‘unjustified growth.' Average funding for ICBM Dem/Val between 1995 to 2018 was $51.020M per year for the purpose of developing technologies, reducing lifecycle costs, reducing risk to the ICBM weapon system, and maintaining industry base. After ramping down to avoid duplication of effort with GBSD between FY16-18, ICBM Dem/Val began expanding efforts again in FY19. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver ICBM Dem/Val capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, and 0605898F. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. This effort 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.

- Change Summary Explanation
- FY 2018 funding reflects a Congressional Add of $20.000 million for the Rocket System Launch Program (RSLP). FY 2018 funding reflects a $2.311 million adjustment for Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC) and a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) adjustment of $1.001 million. FY 2019 funding reflects a Congressionally directed reduction of $9.500 million for "unjustified growth."
