ICBM - EMD

Abstract

ICBM Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) efforts will ensure the extension of the operational life of the Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) weapon system through 2030. The Support Equipment program designs, develops, and tests replacement of obsolete/non-serviceable weapon system support equipment. The efforts include design, development, and testing of replacement Electrical-Electronic Equipment Test Sets, Reentry Field Support Equipment, Minuteman Code Media, the Payload Transporter Tractor and Trailer and Higher Authority Command/Rapid Message Processing Element (HAC/RMPE) Message Generator. The ICBM Cryptography Upgrade Increment II program will complete requirement definition, validation and risk mitigation efforts to expand on the ICBM Cryptography Upgrade Increment 1 program for future design and development needed to incorporate remote key/code change and irreversible transformation of launch/enable codes increasing nuclear weapons security during annual code change cycles. This program is in Budget Activity 05 as it involves system development, integration and demonstration. Production efforts associated with this program are budgeted in Budget Activity 03 within Program Element 0101213F.
