The objectives of the Technology for Sustainment of Strategic Systems (TSSS) program are to enable improved strategic system capabilities, reduce system costs, and sustain the capabilities needed to develop future systems. The Air Force Research Laboratory Propulsion Directorate (AFRL/PR) leads three strategic system propulsion technology development areas under the TSSS program: Missile Propulsion, Aging and Surveillance, and Post Boost Control System. These Air Force-managed efforts are enabling the United States' solid rocket industry to significantly advance propulsion technology, providing increased performance, reduced cost, and increased reliability compared to present state-of-the-art systems. Through the government-funded TSSS programs, often augmented by industry investments, the capability of the nation to maintain a superior deterrence capability into the future is being greatly enhanced. The AFRL/PR's TSSS technology development efforts are providing military and commercial users with capabilities significantly greater than state-of-the-art solid rocket propulsion systems. These programs also serve a critical role in sustaining the technology development capability of the solid rocket industry. (2 figures).
