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. The ICBM Dem/Val program will develop key enabling engineering tools for the ICBM mission to include MBSE, test software and modernization of existing analytical tools. This program will leverage existing modular system architecture and continue the maturation of modular system architecture and agile software development. After ramping down to avoid duplication of effort with GBSD between FY16-18, ICBM Dem/Val began expanding efforts again in FY19. The majority of effort in FY21 is in RVAP to continue work in the Air Force development of the W87-R and Advanced Concept Studies. The FY 2021 funding request was reduced by $21.603 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. 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 element 0605831F or 0605833F. 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.
