GROUND BASED STRATEGIC DETERRENT (GBSD)
Abstract
The Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) will design, develop, produce and deploy a replacement for the current Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Minuteman III (MM III) weapon system. GBSD is scoped to deliver an integrated flight system beginning in FY27 and continue to advance GBSD data management, systems modeling and simulation, and analytical capabilities to integrate GBSD's Weapon System Command & Control (WSC2) systems and infrastructure required to execute, operate, sustain, and secure a fully integrated GBSD weapon system to address capability requirements identified in the GBSD Capabilities Based Assessment and GBSD Initial Capabilities Document, and examined in the GBSD Analysis of Alternatives to mitigate ground-based deterrent degradations due to MM III component age-out and attrition. The major activities in the GBSD program include 1) Flight System (FS); 2) Weapon System Command and Control (WSC2); 3) Infrastructure [e.g. Launch Facilities (LF) and Launch Control Centers (LCC)]; 4) Weapon System Integration. Flight System is an integrated missile stack which includes the following major sub-components: propulsion, post-boost, guidance, and re-entry systems (RS). WSC2 encompasses all weapon system C2 components and interfaces, associated ground hardware, ground control equipment and associated software directly related to the sustainment, survivability, monitoring and launch of the replacement flight system. Infrastructure includes restoration and modernization of real property and structures, and associated ground mechanical systems. The GBSD program will include development of applicable support equipment, data, flight test hardware and infrastructure, and training material. 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.
