MMIII SYSTEM PROGRAM OFFICE (SPO)

dd MMM 2020

DISCLAIMER: The requirements and structure of the ISC as expressed in this document are subject to change based on market research, feedback, and further refinement of requirements.

1. ISC – MMIII SUSTAINMENT Support scope MMIII Sustainment Description MMIII Sustainment ties together the components of the MMIII Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) (five MMIII subsystems and ICBM Infrastructure Equipment (IIE)) and Field Support, to best sustain product delivery.

MMIII Sustainment Organization The MMIII Sustainment organization falls under the MMIII SPO. It consists of the Propulsion Subsystem, Guidance Subsystem, RS/RV Subsystem, Ground Mechanical Subsystem, Ground Electrical Subsystem, IIE, and Field Support, each of which includes an Integrated Product Team (IPT). IPTs are organized around WBS products and serve a critical role as integrators between the areas. They aim to provide a stable approach to problem solving across the Weapon System (WS).

Section Chiefs serve as IPT Leads for their respective IPTs. They are responsible for product-level priority within their IPTs. They meet with higher leadership regularly to provide their priority recommendations. SPO leadership is responsible for establishing system-level priorities and articulating branch perspectives while working together to balance system-level requirements. They review, deconflict and prioritize the IPTs’ recommendations. IPT authority resides with the MMIII Sustainment Chief; however, the Chief can choose to delegate authority to another IPT leader.

Generally, IPT members are assigned as follows:

· Sustainment personnel are members of their Section’s IPT.

· Acquisition personnel are members of the IPT(s) associated with the content of their acquisition program.

· Integration organization personnel participate in IPT(s) per the IPTs’ need for the high-demand, low-density (HD/LD) services provided by the Integration organization (e.g. Test, Nuclear Surety, Hardness, etc.).

IPT leadership holds authority to acquire, release, and/or share assigned members based on organizational priorities.

· Horizontal Sharing (e.g. IPT to IPT): assignment may be reallocated due to ad-hoc needs

· Vertical Sharing (Branch to Branch within an IPT): Case-by-case personnel reallocation across Branches to align with Branch Leadership’s highest priorities If personnel are assigned to multiple IPTs, their time is aligned with priorities set by leadership.

5. GUIDANCE SYSTEMS

Guidance Description The Guidance Subsystem performs the necessary guidance, navigation, and control functions of the MMIII missile. The Missile Guidance Set (MGS) works with the Operational Ground Program (OGP) and Operational Flight Program (OFP), flight controls and RS/RV hardware to initiate, guide, and end missile flight and payload deployment. The NS50 guidance system is a pure inertial system and does not use any external references (such as GPS) to determine position and velocity of the vehicle during flight. The inertial navigation system includes a computer and stabilized instrument platform containing accelerometers to measure linear acceleration and gyroscopes to measure heading attitude.

The Guidance System includes the following:

· Missile Guidance Set (MGS) and components

· Operational and support equipment software

· Performance Assessment Data System (PADS)

· Central Data Assessment System (CDAS)

· Mod 7 Instrumentation Wafer and ancillary equipment

· Instrumentation Wafer Replacement Program (IWRP)

· Flight termination systems

· Range tracking systems

· Telemetry systems

· Tests and support equipment

· Launch Support System/Support of launch countdown command and control

· Global Positioning System (GPS) Metric Tracking System

· Vandenberg Working Group

· Flight Assessment including reliability and accuracy determinations Major components in the MGS include:

· Missile Guidance Computer (MGC)

· Missile Guidance Set Control (MGSC)

· Gyro Stabilized Platform (GSP) and associated electronics SE437C flight battery

· Power Distribution Unit (PDU) and interconnecting cables

· Missile Wafer (CD2-3A) that houses the MGS elements
