Next Gen Platform Dev/Demo
Abstract
This program supports Department of Defense (DOD) priorities for enduring nuclear science and technology (S&T) for re-entry systems. This effort will provide advanced technology development that will effectively address evolving threats and maintain operational effectiveness while also aligning with the highest level guidance for nuclear forces. This effort will contribute to preserving the viability of the nuclear deterrent in a cost-effective manner by reducing technical and programmatic risk associated with execution of the overall nuclear modernization program. These ends will be reached by developing technologies to inform future system requirements, establishing interagency partnerships for re-entry system test platform development, and coordinating with existing programs for next generation strategic system development. This program enhances and enables technology developed under the Next Gen Platform Dev/Demo Effort currently being executed under program element 0603211F, Aerospace Technology Dev/Demo, Project 634094. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver science & technology capabilities. The use of program funds in this program element would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0601102F, 0602020F, 0602102F, 0602201F, 0602202F, 0602203F, 0602204F, 0602602F, 0602605F, 0602788F, 0602298F, and 1206601SF. This program is in Budget Activity 3, Advanced Technology Development because this budget activity includes development of subsystems and components and efforts to integrate subsystems and components into system prototypes for field experiments and/or tests in a simulated environment.
