Code System Media (CSM)

Abstract

The CSM program supports the replacement of obsolete tape cartridges with more modern and available magnetic media. Segment #1, responsible for providing software to accept National Security Agency (NSA) codes, Operations Plan (OPLAN) changes and software updates on compact disk (CD), has been completed. Segment #2 will provide software and hardware necessary to import all other data on CD and produce Wing Codes Processing System products on CD. Segment #2 will also replace the Cartridge Transfer Unit (CTU) with the Data Transfer Unit (DTU). CSM effectively supports the replacement of aging media required to transport and handle mission essential codes and data throughout the ICBM weapon system. The shelf life of the current stock of DC300 tape cartridges and 9-track tapes begin to expire in 2015. CSM delivers the capability to load codes/software on Minuteman III ICBMs through 2030 and is critical to code change activities. Reflected in PE 0604851F, ICBM - EMD, Project 655037, Support Equipment in FY13/14.
