Prompt Global Strike Capability Development

Abstract

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 participation from multiple Services, Agencies, national research laboratories, and industry partners selected on a competitive basis. Program emphasis is on demonstrating component and subsystem technology maturity with risk reduction initiatives highlighted by flight tests. The program funds the design, development, and experimentation of boosters, payload delivery vehicles (PDVs), non-nuclear warheads, thermal protection systems, guidance systems, test range modernization, and mission planning and enabling capabilities. To support these development activities, the program procures modeling and simulation capabilities, ground testing, command and control interfaces, test range support, and launch system infrastructure. Additionally, expert resources address strategic policy and treaty issues. Flight and ground test outcomes drive program timing and DoD hypersonic budget investments. The Prompt Global Strike Capability Development Program Element supports the National Defense Strategy's focus on technological advancements that enhance deterrence and increase strategic flexibility, freedom of action, and Joint Force lethality.
