ICBM Reentry Vehicle Applications
Abstract
The Reentry Vehicle Applications Program (RVAP) 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 system issues and ensuring the availability of long-lead components and materials while identifying life cycle cost reductions methods. In addition, the program 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. Testing may occur on a space available basis on AF and Navy Force Development Evaluation (FDE) flights.
