1.0. MMIII INTEGRATION ORGANIZATION

ICBM Integration Organization Description The ICBM Integration organization provides Specialty Engineering and technical support to MMIII acquisition and sustainment programs/projects, as well as select functional areas of support to the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) Enterprise as needed. It falls under MMIII System Program Office (SPO) management and consists of three areas: Data Management, Specialty Engineering, and Test and Assessment.

SPO and Directorate Support Leadership from the MMIII SPO are responsible for establishing system-level priorities and articulating branch perspectives while working together to balance system-level requirements.

They review, deconflict and prioritize recommendations from the MMIII Integrated Product Teams (IPTs).

Integration personnel participate in IPT(s) per the IPTs’ need for High-Demand/Low-Density (HD/LD) and other Specialty services provided by the Integration organization (e.g. Test, Nuclear Surety, Hardness, etc.). Integration personnel are commonly assigned to multiple IPTs.

When assigned to multiple IPTs, their time is aligned with priorities set by Leadership.

Integration Sections The Data Management section includes Data Management, Configuration Management, Interface Control, Systems Engineering, the Technical Order Management Agency (TOMA) and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS).

The Specialty Engineering section includes Nuclear Surety, Nuclear Hardness and Survivability, System Safety, Corrosion, Environmental Engineering, and Systems Security.

The Test and Assessment section includes Operational Test Launch, Weapon System Assessment, Modeling and Simulation, the Strategic Missile Integration Complex (SMIC), and Test Management.

Also included in the Integration organization’s responsibilities is the Alternate Lead Developmental Test Organization (Alt-LDTO).

Data Deliverables (Contract Data Requirements Lists [CDRLs]) A master list of potential DoD Form 1423s (DD 1423s), Contract Data Requirements Lists, is provided as Section J Attachment 6, Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs).

Due to the quantity and diversity of the programs in the ICBM Organization, the type and magnitude of required support is different for each program. Each program will employ the tasks in this PWS to the extent needed by that program. This also means that data deliverable needs will vary based on the program. To this end, CDRLs are not referenced in this PWS after every paragraph in which they may be required.

CDRLs specifically referenced in this PWS are to be delivered every time the task required by the referenced paragraph is performed (e.g. monthly status reports, training materials, specialty engineering documentation, etc.).

If a program determines that a formal data deliverable is needed for a paragraph without a CDRL reference (e.g. advice, recommendations, analysis reports, etc.), the Government representative will select the appropriate CDRL from the master list and specify the delivery date/address and any other necessary instructions on the DD 1423. Any additional tailoring will also be documented on the DD 1423 at that time. The CDRL number will be incorporated into the associated task assignment (see paragraph 4.9 of the Basic PWS).

4.4. Nuclear Hardness and Survivability (NH&S) Support

NH&S Description NH&S in the ICBM Organization at Hill AFB uses the definitions of NH&S from MIL-STD- 1766C, NH&S Program Requirements for ICBM Weapon Systems:

Hardness: (see 1766C A.3.54) Hardness is a measure of the ability of a system or any of its constituent elements to withstand exposure to one or more effects of man-made or natural hostile environments. In this document, hardness always refers to Nuclear Hardness.

Survivability: (see 1766C A.3.132) Survivability is the capability of a system to withstand a hostile attack without suffering an abortive impairment of its ability to accomplish its designated mission. In this standard, survivability always refers to nuclear survivability and is a probability between zero and one. It is dependent upon threat, scenario of threat employment, and the design and concept of operations of the system.

The Government is responsible for ensuring design decisions, modifications, maintenance actions, and aging do not degrade the existing hardness of an ICBM nor hinder an ICBM from meeting its hardness requirements unless coordinated decisions are made to allow such degradation after system impact (including survivability), cost, and program schedule considerations have been made. Hardness surveillance and assessment activities are necessary to determine future WS survivability, monitor current WS survivability status, track hardness performance trends, and detect degradation.

The objective of the NH&S process is to ensure ICBMs achieve and maintain the level of hardness necessary to meet their respective…
