Intercontinental Ballistic Missile - 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 and flight test equipment. The efforts include design, development, and testing of support equipment such as Electrical-Electronic Equipment Test Sets (EEETS), Reentry Field Support Equipment (RFSE), Code System Media (CSM), Payload Transporter Replacement (PTR), Higher Authority Command/Rapid Message Processing Element (HAC/RMPE) Message Generator, Single Integrated Operation Plan (SIOP) Targeting Application Computer System (STACS), and Transporter Erector Replacement Program (TERP). Efforts also include design, development, and testing of replacement flight test equipment such as the Instrumentation Wafer Replacement Program (IWRP) and the Signal Conditioner Monitor Group (SCMG) replacement. The ICBM Cryptography Upgrade Increment II (ICU II) program expands on the ICBM Cryptography Upgrade Increment I program to incorporate remote key/code change, irreversible transformation of launch/enable codes, and continuous signal lockout, increasing nuclear weapons security during annual code change cycles and preventing the loss of missile status monitoring. ICBM EMD: Fuze Support reflects FY 2012 efforts 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 effort includes the Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) Modernization effort to define operational requirements, investigate available technologies and prepare an acquisition strategy for SRM development. This effort, coupled with the Propulsion Application Program under PE 0603851F, ICBM Demonstration/Validation, will support development of requirements and implementation timeline for a follow-on SRM 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.
