SECTION A

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES (SOO)

I. Statement of Objective: The ICBM Demonstration and Validation (DemVal) program will be conducting a series of studies to evaluate new designs and potentially demonstrate new technologies applicable to the ICBM weapon system. The studies noted in Table 1.1 encompass areas of interest across the DemVal applications portfolio and cites specific applications program focus areas where warranted. All of the studies outlined will be independently proposed and evaluated for award consideration. It is anticipated there will be multiple contract awards from this BAA during a 12 month period. The plan is applicable to designing, building and testing hardware and components based upon existing Minuteman III (MMIII) specifications.

Contractors may propose to complete all or any number of studies. The study proposals shall be submitted in separate individual proposal packages. The deliverable for each study will be a final report that includes the following: concepts studied and proposed solution, notional cost and development schedules, and risk reducing development activities to increase technology readiness levels (TRL) of the proposed concept. Hardware and or Software development and testing may be necessary as part of the study and will be proposed by the contractor.

II. Open Systems Approach and Goals: The Government intends to procure system(s), and designs having an Open System Architecture and corresponding components. As part of this program, the contractor shall define, document, and follow an open systems approach for using modular design, standards based interfaces, and widely-supported consensus-based standards. The contractor shall develop, maintain, and use an open system management plan to support this approach and will be required to demonstrate compliance with that plan during all design reviews.

As part of an open system management plan, the contractor will be required to identify to the

Government all Commercial-Off-the-Shelf/Non-development Item (COTS/NDI) components, their functionality and proposed use in the system, and provide copies of license agreements related to the use of these components for Government approval prior to use. Further, the contractor is required to identify to the Government all limited rights data Contract Data Requirement List (CDRLs) and components, their functionality and proposed use in the system, and provide copies of license agreements related to the use of these components for Government approval prior to use. The proposed open system management plan will be incorporated into the contract with any changes, alterations, and/or modifications requiring Government approval.

Treatment of Proprietary or Vendor-Unique Elements – The contractor shall explain the use of proprietary, vendor-unique, or closed components or interfaces. If applicable, the contractor shall define its process for identifying and justifying proprietary, vendor-unique or closed interfaces, code modules, hardware, firmware, or software to be used. When interfaces, hardware, firmware, or modules that are proprietary or vendor-unique are required, the contractor shall demonstrate to the

Government that those proprietary elements do not preclude or hinder other component or module developers from interfacing with or otherwise developing, replacing, or upgrading open parts of the system.

A. Post-Boost Propulsion System:

Background:

Projected usage of the MMIII Post Boost Control System (denoted Propulsion System Rocket

Engine (PSRE) has identified a potential shortage of these units in the mid 2020 time period.

Purpose and Scope:

The purpose and scope of this study is to identify and develop options and provide trade-offs for both a “short term or “stop-gap” solution (to provide for a potential asset attrition issue) and a long-term replacement for the current PSRE. Short-term selected Post Boost Propulsion

System (PBPS) design concepts must be compatible with the existing MMIII third stage and payload shroud as well as the current NS-50 missile guidance set interfaces. Long-term, we are also interested in technology development that looks at the next generation of PSRE that may not be compatible with current MM III interfaces.

Applicable Documents:

The following documents may contain data necessary for the execution of the contract and are available upon request:

S-133-1004-51 Prime Item Development Specification for Propulsion System Rocket Engine

Task Description and Objectives:

Determine options and provide trade-offs for both a “short term or “stop-gap” solution (to provide for a potential asset attrition issue) and a long-term replacement for the current PSRE.

Short-term options would be intended to be a “Drop-in Replacement” to fill any gap in quantities available due to attrition and should include as a minimum, build-to-print using the current design and materials (where ever feasible) and a single reentry vehicle version of the current design.

Long-term replacement options could include a “clean-sheet” assessment to include less hazardous propellant options and combining or integrating post boost components with a new missile guidance set wafer. Current PSRE performance requirements shall be assumed for the proposed options. All concepts shall include notional cost and development schedules. The contractor shall propose risk reducing development activities to increase technology readiness levels (TRL) for post boost modernization. Consider options integrating Guidance Set and Post

Boost Control components into a single wafer for a follow-on ICBM system.

In addition, the following characteristics shall be included in the trade space:

Design Life: Minimum of 30 years with a goal of 35 years

Safety: Minimize safety hazards thru the use of and selection of non/reduced -toxic materials and processes

Maintenance: Low to “No regular maintenance required” o Stop Gap solution must be compatible with existing maintenance and field test equipment.

o Long term solution should identify changes to test equipment hardware

Both Stop Gap and Long Term solutions shall be compatible with all existing transportation and handling equipment.

D. Penetration Aid (PenAid) Suite Technology Demonstration/Signature Reduction:

The LGM-30G Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) holds at risk a variety of targets, including some that may be protected by anti-ballistic missile (ABM) defense systems.

Many methods exist to avoid, defeat, or penetrate hostile defenses and have been studied and evaluated since the inception of ballistic missile defense.

Reentry vehicles (RVs) are exposed to severe pressures, temperatures, and heating as they reenter the atmosphere at very high velocities. Additional complex nuclear hardness and weather requirements exist, and RVs must survive and function with high reliability in these demanding environments. Current and future concepts require the application of advanced technologies and the availability of a unique industry base to field and sustain operationally capable systems.

Purpose and Scope:

The PenAid Suite Technology Development will mature PenAid designs and technologies to posture the government and industry to successfully respond to current and future ICBM requirements.

Next-generation PenAid/full suite development solutions are required for the ICBM system.

This effort will require development of, yet not limited to, infrared/radio frequency (IR/RF) balloons and radio frequency simulating decoys studied in the ICBM Long Range Planning

(ILRP) PenAid Suite Study and continue to a preliminary design review. Fabrication and developmental testing of components, engineering development models, and prototypes will demonstrate the design capability. In addition to maturing the existing conceptual designs, this effort will also study options for signature reduction on existing ICBM reentry vehicles.

Applicable Documents:

The following documents may contain data necessary for the execution of the contract and are available upon request:

E. Advanced Minuteman Batteries:

The MMIII currently relies on thirty-year-old silver-zinc oxide battery technology whose military and commercial market has drastically declined. Furthermore cheaper battery designs of alternate chemistry have surfaced, leading silver-zinc oxide battery supplier closures and increased production costs for very limited production and development of these batteries. For these reasons, alternative chemistry batteries that can perform the same functions as the silver-zinc battery in MMIII systems are being considered.

F. ICBM NuclearCommand, Control, and Communications (NC3):

The legacy ICBM NC3 architecture, although effective, prohibits employing different operational, maintenance and security concepts and is increasingly difficult to sustain due to an industrial base that has advanced beyond the technologies and architecture associated with the current ICBM and NC3 systems.

Vanishing vendors and diminishing manufacturing sources coupled with the requirement to make other MMIII modification programs backwards compatible complicates efforts to modernize the current system

Purpose and Scope:

The purposes of these studies are two-fold. First, an ICBM NC3 systems study will focus on approaches to modernize the messaging system, protocols, terminal equipment and operating system. ICBM weapon system NC3 studies will be a sequenced set of architecture definition, refinement, and if possible, demonstration activities. Risk will be addressed throughout. All modernization efforts will be phased over time. Therefore, approaches should be focused on end-state architecture that provides incremental (yet affordable and effective), risk-acceptable implementation options over the next 20 years.

Second, studies shall exploit State-Of-the Art communication options by identifying existing and future candidate technologies to meet present day and future needs as well as ensure systems evolve in a planned, orderly and cost efficient manner. This should be a layered, multi-level system that will enable classified operational message trafficking as well as tactical decision making and enhanced administrative networks, including security and logistics/maintenance/data consolidation support.

Applicable Documents:

Applicable classified and unclassified information for these studies will be provided to the contractor upon request.

The following document contains data necessary for the execution of the contract and is available upon request:

S-118-42148 Prime Item Development Specification for UHF Transmitter

S-133-12386 Prime Item Development Specification for Squadron Data Simulator

Task Description and Objectives:

Page 26 of 71 30 July 2014

An ICBM NC3 system study shall be conducted and at a minimum describe and document individual subsystems and overall current NC3 system architecture and capabilities. The second effort of studies will take into consideration possible post--AoA GBSD studies.

Identify phased enhancements enabling continued effective operation of the weapon system NC3 architecture. Research should consider asset recapitalization effectiveness at the micro level as well as whole-system integration to include cybersecurity via the Risk Management Framework.

Additional consideration should be placed on logistic support availability and overall maintainability of the system, now through 2035. Components of this system include:

LF

LCC

Communications o HICS (Hardened Intersite Cable System) o RF (Radio Frequency) Overlay

Conduct a study to determine options and provide trade-offs for post-GBSD AoA studies:

Explore open commercial architecture approaches enabling flexible/enhanced modernization throughout the projected lifecycle of the weapon system.

Technologies and concepts for modern information transfer techniques and message structuring while meeting stringent nuclear surety standards, and distance, PCMR, and timeliness requirements.

Concepts and automated test capabilities to modernize command and control support infrastructure

Technologies and architecture concepts to support common operational picture and tactical communications to enhance situational awareness of ICBM facilities

Methods for ensuring survivability of modern electronics in a nuclear effects environment

Feasibility studies for ICBM NC3 modernization efforts

Modular NC3 Architecture/Processing/MCC Operator GUI’s

Enhanced Survivable NC3 Network Communications

Advanced Risk Management Framework NC3 cyber controls/encryption and supply chain environments surrounding the hardware, material devices, software and firmware need thorough examination in support of nuclear hardening, nuclear assurance, nuclear safety, trusted foundries and control of counterfeit parts.

Flexible network interconnectivity permitting single Launch Facility/node elimination without degrading communication

Replacement of the functions performed by the NC3 equipment located in the Weapon

System Control Console (WSCC)

Security battle-space awareness at all levels; Integrated Command Centers, leadership, fielded response forces
