Prompt Global Strike Capability Development

Abstract

The level of resourcing for the Prompt Global Strike Capability Development program reflects iterative reductions from efficiencies and budget reductions, which reduces the Department's ability to develop flexible responsive solutions to emerging war fighter needs. This Program Element (PE) was established to develop and demonstrate technologies and applications that advance conventional prompt global strike (CPGS) warfighting capabilities. The program uses a national team with coordination between the Services, Agencies and national research laboratories to pursue integrated portfolio objectives leading to the acquisition and operation of a CPGS system. This program funds the design, development, and experimentation of boosters, payload delivery vehicles (PDVs), non-nuclear warheads, guidance systems, and mission planning and enabling capabilities. Program timing will be driven by the outcome of flight test events and DoD budgets. To support these development activities, the program procures modeling and simulation capabilities, command and control interfaces, test range support, and launch system infrastructure. Additionally, expert resources address strategic policy and treaty issues. Program emphasis is on demonstrating component and subsystem technology maturity with risk reduction initiatives. In FY 2013 and FY 2014, funding for the individual service initiatives has and will be contingent upon their abilities to execute and achieve satisfactory progress towards project goals as determined by the CPGS portfolio manager.

• Change Summary Explanation: Other Adjustments- Reduction of -$2.261 is part of the Department of Defense reform agenda, a zero-based review of the organization, to align resources to the most critical priorities and eliminate lower priority functions. Realignment of -$66.000 is due to Defense Priorities - Reduction per Department of Defense priorities to focus on Research and Development of intermediate range concepts. Rephased To Out Years - Funding was reduced in FY14 based on other program requirements and rephased to FY15 and FY16.
