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 conducts any necessary studies and assesses both legacy and future ICBM Guidance System technology applications. Efforts are focused on current and future requirements and technologies, reduced life cycle costs, and increased nuclear safety and surety. 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, certification and system vulnerability assessments. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2022, 0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2023, 0.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
