Next Generation Reentry Vehicle
Abstract
The Next Generation Reentry Vehicle program will design, develop, produce, and deploy new payload system suites (reentry vehicles and countermeasures) and integrate them into the Sentinel (GBSD) weapon system. Key next generation payload attributes include enhancements in accuracy, lethality, survivability, and ICBM Reentry System/Reentry Vehicle (RS/RV) interoperable operations. Next generation reentry vehicle and countermeasure technologies are based on emerging threats, AF priorities, and development capacity. Program activities will also include the employment of digital acquisitions through the application of digital engineering, agile software development, and open systems architectures. FY2024 funding supports early acquisition activities that lead to competitive contract awards for a next generation reentry vehicle and countermeasures in support of strengthening the atrophying industrial base, posturing the nation and the AF to counter adversary threats both projected and unforeseen. These efforts support a Materiel Development Decision (MDD) in FY2024 and Milestone A in FY2026. The intent is to encourage a wide pool of industry involvement in the development of materiel solutions that support the mission requirements that combat future and immediate threats to drive ultimate effectiveness requirements for the weapon system. This includes program management support, operational concept exploration, technology trade studies, operational and system architecture development, maturation and risk reduction of RV related technologies including weapons systems and integrated system concept development and demonstration. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2022 $0 was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY2023 $0 is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
