Nuclear Weapons Support
Abstract
The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC), Kirtland AFB, NM, is the primary executing agency for this program. AFNWC is tasked with maintaining and providing technical expertise on all AF nuclear weapons and weapon systems. This program provides resources for technical and programmatic activities which includes researching, developing and testing new nuclear-certified equipment/systems as well as 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. In FY2021, PE 0104222F, (various projects listed above as New Starts) were transferred to PE 0604222F, Project 654807 (Nuclear Weapons System Technology and Integration), in order to more properly align these efforts with an RDT&E program element. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Nuclear Weapons Support and Integration capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F and 0605833F. 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.
