1 PE NUMBER: 11122F PE TITLE: AIR LAUNCHED CRUISE Exhibit R-2, RDT&E Budget Item Justification ($ in Millions) 4797 Total Program Element (PE) Flight Testing & Navigation Actual FY FY FY FY to Complete Total A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification The AGM-86B, Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM), is a subsonic, air-to-surface strategic nuclear missile, operational since Armed with a W-8 warhead, it is designed to evade air and ground-based defenses in order to strike targets at any location within any enemy's territory. The ALCM is designed for B-52H internal and external carriage. A Service Life Extension Plan (SLEP) was developed to meet an AF Long Range Plan requirement to extend ALCM Service Life to FY3. The results of Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) studies identified system components that cannot be sustained beyond the standard service life. The current system is experiencing obsolescence of parts/components. Missile components and support equipment are becoming non-supportable. Service Life Extension of this critical weapon is essential to meet Air Combat Command (ACC) and United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) commitments (also known as OPLAN 844). The W-8 LEP replaces warhead components to extend its service life. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is responsible for most of the refurbishment costs associated with the W-8 warhead. The Air Force is responsible for funding ALCM W-8 integration. Integration includes evaluation of interface control changes as part of the Initial Concept Design (ICD), missile testing, and logistics requirements necessary to support a First Production Unit (FPU) delivery of 28. Joint Test Assembly (JTA-1) Replacement Support: The W8-1 JTA (warhead flight test configuration) is becoming unsupportable with sunset technology. Update of this JTA was to be addressed within the W8 Life Extension Program (LEP). With the cancellation of the W8 LEP, the JTA replacement still needs to be accomplished, which will be lead by NNSA. Air Force support is required to evaluate the interface changes, revise the W8-1 Interface Control Documents (ICDs), provide integration support, and flight test qualification. Aging and surveillance program for ALCM critical components such as those in the safe arm and fuze subsystem, navigation/guidance system, and electrical/power distribution system. This is needed to identify aging trends prior to failures in fielded components that would result in fleet-wide reliability and supportability problems. These programs are in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, due to efforts supporting a fielded, post Milestone III operational weapon system. Page-1 of Exhibit R-2 (PE 11122F)

4 Exhibit R-2a, RDT&E Project Justification B. Accomplishments/Planned Program ($ in Millions) Continue ALCM/W8 interface change evaluations/changes and contractor ICD support for W8 LEP Continue ALCM integration data development Continue ALCM W-8 integration ground test and flight test support, Environmental Flight Test and Developlmental Flight Test W8 Joint Test Assembly (JTA-1) Replacement Support, revise the W8-1 Interface Control Documents (ICDs), provide integration support, and flight test qualification. Continuation of W8 efforts - not a New Start. Develop aging and surveillance program for ALCM critical components such as those in the safe arm and fuze subsystem, navigation/guidance system, and electrical/power distribution systemto identify aging trends prior to failures in fielded components.
