D5 Flight System Strategic Systems Programs Alteration (SPALT)

Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) will be procuring engineering services and studies for risk mitigation technology, hardware, and architectures to alter (SPALT) the Trident II D5LE missile for material and component obsolescence, extending its life to provide a strategic submarine launched ballistic missile capability for the life of the COLUMBIA Class submarine SSBNs (Through Government Fiscal Year 2083). The trade studies to be conducted will include submarine launched ballistic missile system architecture and technologies for avionics, structures, test missile, post boost control, and ordnance and eventual design of the Trident II D5LE2. Furthermore, SSP will look to procure similar efforts in support of The Facility Planning/Activation, Griffin Flight Test, Nuclear Reentry System, and W93/Mk7 Reentry developments. This effort is inextricably linked to work already being performed by Lockheed Martin Space (LM S) under contract N00030-20-C-0101, which SSP awarded using other than full and open competition.

The Period of Performance is estimated to be seven (3) years.
