Armament Demonstration and Validation
Abstract
This program, BA 4, PE 0603036F Armament Demonstration and Validation, project 643036, Modular Advanced Missile (MAM) is not a new start. Work started in FY 2022 and this is a continuation of work conducted under a separate PE. The Armament Demonstration and Validation Program Element provides key linkage between Research and Development, and fielding of advanced capabilities. It will develop, mature, and demonstrate new or emerging armament technologies, processes, interfaces, mission planning, special test equipment, and resources. Armament Demonstration and Validation will design, develop, and perform demonstrations of prototypes and technologies to inform future acquisition and production decisions. Efforts are focused on current and future requirements and technologies, reduce life-cycle costs, and increased competition for system capability upgrades. Activities leverage the efforts of the Science and Technology community. This effort will include lab, bench, integration, ground and air demonstrations and validation of emerging/evolving technologies and systems via weapon scalable/modular architecture and Weapon Government Reference Architecture (GRA) compliant system performance. This effort will mature and demonstrate the tenants of model based systems engineering, modular open systems architecture, agile software development, modeling, simulation and analysis, and extend these tenants to improve manufacturing processes. 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. In FY 2023, $5.000 million is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This effort 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.
