ICBM - EMD

Abstract

Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) efforts will ensure the extension of the operational life of the Minuteman III 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 System Media, the Payload Transporter Tractor and Trailer, Higher Authority Command/Rapid Message Processing Element (HAC/RMPE) Message Generator, and the Targeting Application Computer for Single Integrated Operation Plan (SIOP) Targeting Application Computer System (STACS). The ICBM Cryptography Upgrade Increment II program expands on the ICBM Cryptography Upgrade Increment I program to incorporate remote key/code change and irreversible transformation of launch/enable codes increasing nuclear weapons security during annual code change cycles. ICBM Fuze Support will continue studies and development planning leading to a development effort for Mk21 and Mk12A replacement fuzes. Development effort will make maximum use of technologies, parts and components developed under the Navy Mk5 fuze program. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
