(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

(U) The Upper Stages Program provides consolidated acquisition of the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) to support the DoD Mission Model. This effort includes flight operations at the Cape Canaveral Air Station, FL; support to flight operations at the Consolidated Space Test Center (CSTC). IUS supports the launch of Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites. IUS is the upper stage on a Titan IV (or it can be modified for Shuttle) and takes the DSP satellite to the required orbit. The RDT&E program continuously evaluates and improves upper stage reliability, cost effectiveness, and responsiveness. It supports redesign of aging equipment and spares which are no longer manufactured or available; investigation of flight anomalies; and small studies to assist in defining future upper stages. The preceding tasks require funding in Budget Activity Research Category Operational Systems Development.

(U) Acquisition Strategy: Program is in final production under the fourth production contract. Six remaining IUS units are procured (in storage). Remaining procurement effort is for replacement parts and component shelf life extension. Within the RDT&E budget for IUS, Avionics Obsolescence Activity (AOA) will replace obsolete, insupportable guidance, navigation and control system. The third part of the strategy involves the integration and launch services, flight operations, and post-flight analysis. The final portion of the strategy is the independent validation and verification of the IUS.
