1.2.1. The Strategic Missile Integration Complex (SMIC) primary mission is to support the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) portfolio for simulated testing of the Minuteman III (MMIII) Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) weapon system. The SMIC provides a test environment for system integration and operational testing of procedural changes, hardware and software modifications and upgrades to the ICBM weapon system. The SMIC can perform system test and anomaly investigations without affecting the alert status of the fielded weapon system. The SMIC provides in-depth analysis and test capability with specialized test equipment for the Minuteman III (MMIII) ICBM weapon system. In support of this mission, the contractor shall conduct Operation and Maintenance (O&M) support, engineering and testing services, and technical support on behalf of the AFNWC MMIII Systems Directorate (SD) at Hill Air Force Base (HAFB) Utah and support limited testing at the missile wing as directed. The primary focus of the SMIC is to support fielded ICBM weapon systems. For the purposes of this document, the term ICBM constitutes all AFNWC portfolio programs.
