The request is for strategic missile funding in the Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) and Procurement appropriations for FY2024. Three broad programs account for over 98% of DOD's FY2024 strategic missile funding request: Navy's Trident II (D5) submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM), including the D5 life extension (D5LE) and second life extension (D5LE II); Air Force's LGM-35A Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), previously called the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD); and Air Force's Long Range Standoff (LRSO) nuclear cruise missile (see Table 1). The remaining ~2% covers a variety of fuze modifications, nuclear weapons support (including nuclear red teaming), and planning for long-term ICBM system sustainment. Congress may assess strategic missile acquisition strategies and schedules, program performance, missile component costs, and projected Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) funding levels to determine whether to provide authorization and appropriations at amounts less than, equal to, or more than those requested by DOD.
