ICBM Propulsion Applications

Abstract

The Propulsion Applications Program (PAP) develops and assesses strategic propulsion system technology applications for both legacy and future ICBM propulsion systems through projects exploring improvements and/or alternatives to current propulsion systems, conducting studies assessing application of new technologies to meet future common propulsion systems requirements, and assessing opportunities for applying common materials and technology between the ICBM, submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) propulsion systems, and other rocket motor propulsion capabilities. Efforts are focused on current and future requirements and technologies, reduced life cycle costs, and increased nuclear surety, safety, 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 program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F or 0605833F. In FY 2021 0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2022 0.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
