Support Equipment

Abstract

The Support Equipment program funding includes reductions for overhead efficiencies that are not intended to impact program content. The efficiencies reductions total $0.432M in FY12. The ongoing Support Equipment program replaces obsolete/unsupportable/non-serviceable weapon system support equipment necessary to extend the operational life of the Minuteman III (MM III) weapon system through 2030. The efforts include design, development, and testing of replacement Electrical-Electronic Equipment Test Sets, Reentry Field Support Equipment, Minuteman Code System Media, the Payload Transporter Tractor and Trailer, Higher Authority Command/Rapid Message Processing Element (HAC/RMPE) Message Generator, and the Targeting Application Computer for Single Integrated Operation Plan (SIOP) Targeting Application Computer System (STACS). The production phase, MPAF funding is budgeted under MMIII Support Equipment Replacement, PE 0101213F. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
