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, the Targeting Application Computer for Single Integrated Operation Plan (SIOP) Targeting Application Computer System (STACS) and Transporter Erectors (TE). 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 EMD: Fuze Support reflects FY2012 effort related to fuze modernization efforts previously included in PE 0604222F and now included in PE 0604933. The Operational Equipment program designs, develops, and tests replacement of weapon system equipment. The efforts include: (1)design, development, and testing of modifications to the Weapon System Processor (WSP) circuit card to prevent status monitoring loss and modifications to WSP circuit card seating hardware; (2)solid rocket motor modernization efforts to define operational requirements and acquisition strategy for a solid rocket motor follow-on program. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
