ICBM Propulsion Applications

Abstract

The Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Propulsion Application Program develops strategic propulsion capability through projects exploring improvements and/or alternatives to current propulsion systems, conducting studies assessing application of new technologies to meet future common propulsion systems requirments, assessing opportunities for applying common materials and technology between the ICBM, submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) propulsion systems, and other solid rocket motor propulsion capabilities to demonstrate a potential family of motors capability. Efforts are focused on current and future requirements and technologies, reduced life cycle costs, and increase nuclear surety and safety. BA4 - This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
