Joint Warhead Fuze Sustainment Program

Abstract

The Joint Warhead Fuze Sustainment Program is an effort to develop advanced components to improve the reliability, safety, and security of Arming, Fuzing and Firing (AF&F) systems for nuclear reentry systems. The current effort is focused on supporting the Alteration of the AF&F system for the MK5/W88 system which will be five years beyond its design life at the scheduled deployment of the AF&F Alteration. This effort also supports future utilization of the developed components by the US Air Force and United Kingdom. A study on SSBN based Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS) options will be completed to address safety, security, and surety issues, along with ambiguity issues as they relate to various sea-based designs. Begin trade analysis for cost performance and schedule for those designs; information that is required to better understand the capabilities that could be delivered from naval platforms.
