Chemical Demilitarization-Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (Chem Demil-ACWA)

摘要

This December 2017 SAR details changes to cost, schedule, and performance since last reported in the December 2016 SAR (Approved in June 2017) for Chem Demil-ACWA. Due to directive in the recently published National Defense Authorization Act, this SAR now reflects two separate sub-programs in regards to funding and schedule for the Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (PCAPP) and Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP). As reported in the December 2016 SAR, PEO ACWA signed a Program Deviation Report (PDR) on April 27, 2017, due to a significant cost deviation from the cost parameters contained in the March 2012 APB as well as an APB schedule threshold breach of the complete operations and complete closure milestones at the PCAPP. On June 5, 2017, Congress was notified of a significant Nunn-McCurdy cost breach. On June 25, 2017, Ms. Suzanne Milchling was named the Program Executive Officer for PEO ACWA. The new Program Executive Officer began an initiative to identify various options to accelerate munitions destruction from the current estimates, which includes the potential use of additional Explosive Destruction Technologies (EDT).
