Technical Applications Programs
Abstract
In FY16 the Multi-Star Enhanced Prelaunch (MEP) program will commence. This system leverages the capability of the D5 Life Extension Guidance (Mk6 Mod1) to sight two stars vice one combined with the interface updates to the Fire Control and Navigation. Allowing for in-flight correction, the potential to operate in environments where GPS is denied, and may provide future relief to the strict tolerance requirements of the strategic navigator on the current OHIO class submarines and the OHIO Class Replacement program. The Systems Engineering Modeling and Simulation capability will consist of three elements: Model Based Design, Strategic Weapon System (SWS) Integrated Modeling and Simulation/Common Architecture & Framework, and SWS Enhancement Ground Test. This effort will provide the capability to comprehensively evaluate and test the integrated SWS within representative operational environments, providing unprecedented visibility across the SWS and system performance characterization equivalent to flight testing. This capability will enable trade space analysis to identify technical margin, subsystem interactions, and lifecycle affordability opportunities.
