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 and future Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), 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 ICBM. 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 modular system, open architecture and agile software development to build key enabling engineering tools and future upgrades to ICBMs. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In FY20 $0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY21 $0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
