Support Equipment

Abstract

The Support Equipment program designs, develops, and tests replacement of obsolete/non-serviceable weapon system support and flight test equipment. The efforts include design, development, and testing of support equipment such as Electrical-Electronic Equipment Test Sets (EEETS), Reentry Field Support Equipment (RFSE), Code System Media (CSM), Payload Transporter Replacement (PTR), Higher Authority Command/Rapid Message Processing Element (HAC/RMPE) Message Generator, Strategic Targeting Application Computer System (STACS), and Transporter Erector Replacement Program (TERP). In FY15, efforts listed above in PE 0604851F, Intercontinental Ballistic Missile - EMD, Project 655037, Support Equipment will be included in PE 0101213F, Minuteman Squadrons, Project 672985, MM Support Equip. Also in FY15, PTR funding was eliminated pending revalidation of the requirement through an ICBM Transportation Security Study due July 2014. PTR development will continue in FY14. Efforts also include the design, development, and testing of replacement flight test equipment necessary to conduct Force Development Evaluations (FDEs) and ICBM Fuze Modernization flight tests such as the Instrumentation Wafer Replacement Program (IWRP) and the Signal Conditioner Monitor (SCM) replacement program. FDEs are required by USSTRATCOM and the Department of Energy to determine continuing reliability and effectiveness of the ICBM weapon system. Beginning in FY 2015, IWRP and SCM efforts previously included in PE 0604851F, Intercontinental Ballistic Missile - EMD, Project 655037, Support Equipment will be included in PE 0101213F, Minuteman Squadrons, Project 672984, MM III Baseline Support as one combined program, the MM III Instrumentation Wafer Replacement Program (MMIWRP).
