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 Reentry Field Support Equipment (RFSE), Code System Media (CSM), Payload Transporter Replacement (PTR), Higher Authority Command/Rapid Message Processing Element (HAC/RMPE) Message Generator, Strategic Targeting Application Computer System (STACS), and Transporter Erector Replacement Program (TERP). In FY15, efforts listed above in PE 0604851F, Intercontinental Ballistic Missile - EMD, Project 655037, Support Equipment were included in PE 0101213F, Minuteman Squadrons, Project 672985, MM Support Equip. Efforts also include the design, development, and testing of replacement flight test equipment necessary to conduct Operational Test Launches (OTLs) and ICBM Fuze Modernization flight tests such as the Instrumentation Wafer Replacement Program (IWRP). OTLs are required by USSTRATCOM and the Department of Energy to determine continuing reliability and effectiveness of the ICBM weapon system. Beginning in FY 2016, IWRP efforts previously included in PE 0604851F, Intercontinental Ballistic Missile - EMD, Project 655037, Support Equipment were combined with the Flight Destruct System and Launch Support System and included in PE 0101213F, Minuteman Squadrons, Project 672984, MM III Baseline Support as the Flight Test Telemetry and Termination System (FT3). Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Cryptography Upgrade Increment II (ICU II) executes USSTRATCOM, Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), and Nuclear Weapon Safety Center (NWSC) requirements by implementing the KS-60 capabilities of remote key/code change and irreversible transformation as mandated in the approved Capabilities Development Document (CDD) dated 4 January 2005 and addresses Nuclear Weapon System Safety Group Operational Safety Review (NWSSG OSR) requirements 98-2, 00-1 and 02-2. It also incorporates continuous signal lockout capabilities to prevent the widespread loss of status monitoring. These features will greatly increase security during code changes by reducing the frequency of open sites 75 days annually and will reduce associated resource costs for 450 launch facilities (LF) and 45 launch control centers (LCC). In FY 2015, ICU II effort previously included in PE 0604851, Intercontinental Ballistic Missile - EMD, Project 655081, ICBM Crypto were included in PE 0101213F, Minuteman Squadrons, Project 672986, MM Crypto Mods. This program is 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.
