ICBM Guidance Applications
Abstract
The Guidance Applications Program (GAP) ensures the development of strategic capability in response to the Nuclear Posture Review, recommendations of the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) Strategic Advisory Group, USSTRATCOM Commander Guidance, and the Defense Science Board Task Force on Nuclear Deterrence. The program studies and assesses both legacy and future (non-GBSD baseline) ICBM Guidance System technology applications. Efforts are focused on current and future requirements and technologies, reduced life cycle costs, and increased nuclear surety and safety. Activities leverage the efforts of the Science and Technology community and are coordinated with the Navy strategic applications program to enhance synergy and avoid duplication. Key elements include developing responsive technologies with common applications for future strategic guidance capabilities. This program also includes any needed nuclear surety and certification and system vulnerability assessments.
