ICBM Reentry Vehicle Applications
Abstract
The Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Reentry Vehicle (RV) Applications Program ensures the ICBM force is equipped with the safest, most reliable Reentry Systems, and explores options for common, multi-mission capabilities. The program enables a responsive engineering infrastructure to support Reentry Systems beyond their original design life by addressing operational system issues and ensuring the availability of long-lead components and materials while identifying life cycle cost reduction methods. In addition, the program also develops and tests advanced Reentry System technologies to meet future requirements. The program leverages investments by the Science & Technology community and Navy reentry systems applications program. Products are tested on a space available basis on Minuteman and Trident Force Development Evaluation (FDE) flights. 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.
