Description
The TRIDENT II Mods program, specifically the D5 Life Extension (D5LE), focuses on sustaining and enhancing the capabilities of the TRIDENT II (D5) missile system. This initiative aims to extend the operational life of the Ohio-class submarines' ballistic missile systems through FY 2042. Key objectives include upgrading missile electronics, such as the Flight Control Electronic Assembly and Command Sequencer, and supporting production efforts to maintain system readiness. The program also addresses obsolescence issues by incorporating modernized designs into existing systems.
The Operating and Support Costs component of the TRIDENT II Mods program is dedicated to ensuring the continued functionality and reliability of the missile systems. This involves replacing aging components like rocket motors and electronic parts, as well as integrating supportability modifications. Additionally, there is investment in industrial base recapitalization to enhance production capabilities for strategic solid rocket motors, addressing capacity constraints and ensuring a stable supply chain for critical defense components.
The D5 Life Extension II (D5LE2) segment focuses on advancing the design and engineering of Strategic Weapons Systems subsystems, including missile guidance, fire control, and navigation systems. This effort supports the transition from research and development to production, leveraging technology advancements to refine subsystem designs. The D5LE2 program emphasizes system integration and testing to ensure compatibility with modernized shipboard systems, preparing for future deployment on COLUMBIA-class submarines.
The TRIDENT II Mods program represents a comprehensive effort to maintain and enhance strategic deterrent capabilities through modernization and life extension of ballistic missile systems. By addressing obsolescence, improving production processes, and integrating advanced technologies, the program aims to ensure that these critical defense assets remain effective well into the future.
