Payload Transporter Replacement (PTR)
Abstract
Designs and develops the capabilities necessary to replace the current Payload Transporter (PT) tractor and trailer, mitigating emerging threat technologies and methods. The PT emplaces, extracts, and transports the Minuteman III Reentry System (RS), Propulsion System Rocket Engine (PSRE), and Missile Guidance Set (MGS). The new PT design increases safety and security during transport activities and improves maintenance operations. This effort was previously known as the Payload Transporter Tractor and Trailer (PT III). The name was changed to differentiate it from the currently fielded PT III trailer.
