AMCOM G-3• Develop Execution Strategies• Integrate / Prioritize• Develop Funding Requirements• Execute
Missile Demil Life Cycle Management
PEO Missiles and Space PMOs• Design for Demil• Identify Demil Alternatives
– SLEP / Remanufacture– Reuse– FMS– Training
• Participate on Demil IPT– Identify Requirements– Integrate into Acquisition Strategy
Mission: Cost Effectively Demilitarize Excess, Obsolete, and Unserviceable Army Missiles with Minimal Environmental Impact Utilizing Resource, Recovery, and Recycling (R3) Methods to the Greatest Extent Possible

Missile Recycling Center Capability
Missile Recycling Center (MRC) Provides Safe Disposition of Medium Sized Tactical Missiles
Environmentally Superior Alternative to Traditional Destruction Processes• Encompasses Entire Missile• Reconstitutes Propellant and Warhead
Energetics• Maximizes Reuse / Recycle of Recovered
Material
Fully Operational by FY07
MRC Utilizes a Total R3 Technology Approach That Can Be Adapted for Use on the Vast Majority of the Missiles in The DoD Inventory

Areas of ConcernThe Future of Ammonium Perchlorate• Regulations Are Getting Tighter• MLRS Stockpile at ADMC Alone Will Create Over 8,000
Tons of AP • Initial Planning Called for Reuse of Material – Will This Still
Be Valid?• If Not, What Are the Alternatives?
What Additional Compounds Will We Produce That Are an Environmental Concern?Developing Flexible Tooling and Facilities• AMCOM Currently Responsible for 20 Different Missile
Systems & Variants• Too Costly to Development “One Off” Solutions for Each• Must Be Able to Adapt to Newly Developed and Evolving
Systems

U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command 9
Path Ahead
Continue Execution of Environmentally Responsible Demilitarization Program
Emphasize Closed Disposal/R3 Technologies
Focus on Demilitarization Options That Can Be Utilized Across All Families of Missiles
Maximize Return on Investment/Reduce Per Missile Costs
