## What project 673041 buys

ICBM MEECN Terminal (IMT) will provide resilient Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications capabilities for the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Forces. IMT will deliver an integrated NC3 suite which includes Extremely High Frequency (EHF) capabilities and an open architecture-based framework. This framework will enable faster and extensible capabilities integration and upgrades for other communication pathways. IMT will integrate the Common Very Low Frequency (VLF) Receiver (CVR). For ICBM risk reduction, IMT will prepare for integration with ICBM weapon systems. This program element included all necessary expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, and 0605898F.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development.

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
