Abstract

The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC), Kirtland AFB, NM, is the primary executing agency for this program. The AFNWC is tasked with maintaining and providing technical expertise on all Air Force (AF) nuclear weapons and weapon systems. This program provides resources for technical and programmatic activities, which includes research, development, test, and evaluation of all nuclear-certified equipment/systems, as well as performing independent capability analyses on all AF nuclear weapon systems activities, including weapons development and sustainment; interoperability; compatibility; safety, security, and reliability; and nuclear stockpile certification management for legacy and modernized AF nuclear weapon systems. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY21 $0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY22 $0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
