Nuclear Weapons Support

Abstract

The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, Kirtland AFB, NM, is the primary executing agency for this program. The Air Force is tasked with maintaining and providing technical expertise on all AF nuclear weapons and weapon systems and with developing and maintaining counter-chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (C-CBRN) capabilities. This program provides resources for technical and programmatic activities which includes performing independent analyses on all AF nuclear weapons systems activities including weapons development and sustainment; interoperability; compatibility; safety, security, and reliability; Air Force legacy nuclear stockpile management/retirement; nuclear certification and nuclear certification management. This program element includes necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Nuclear Weapon Support weapon system capability. The use of such program funds is in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605831F - Capability Integration and 0605833F - Nuclear Systems. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
