Nuclear Weapons Support
Abstract
The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC), Kirtland AFB, NM, is the primary executing agency for this program. The AFNWC is tasked with supporting and supplying technical expertise on all Air Force (AF) nuclear weapons and weapon systems. This program provides resources for technical and programmatic activities, which include research, development, test, and evaluation of all nuclear- equipment/systems, as well as performing independent analyses on all AF nuclear weapon systems and activities; to include weapon/system development, sustainment, interoperability, compatibility, safety, security, reliability; to include nuclear stockpile certification management for all AF nuclear weapon systems. The FY 2025 funding request was reduced by $2.664 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. 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 FY23 $0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY24 $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.
