Acq Workforce- Nuclear Systems

Abstract

This program element directly funds the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC)and Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) nuclear acquisition workforce. AFNWC and AFLCMC equip U.S. forces with operational nuclear weapon systems in support of military and national security operations. The acquisition and product support workforce provides cutting edge weapon systems, sustainment capabilities, and is charged with providing management, tools, technical and business capabilities needed to oversee Nuclear Systems acquisition programs throughout their life cycle. The direct funded acquisition workforce funded in this program element will support all phases of acquisition programs to include material solution analysis, technology development, engineering and manufacturing development, production and deployment, and operations and support. This funding does not include costs for base operating support civilian personnel. These program elements support both civilian pay and non-pay support requirements. This program is in Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support because this budget activity includes research, development, test and evaluation efforts and funds to sustain and/or modernize the installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2022 President's Budget submittal did not reflect FY 2023 through FY 2026 funding. Therefore, an explanation of the change between the two budget positions for FY2023 cannot be made in a relevant manner. FY21 Changes: Reprogramming's amount $5.000M reflects Below Threshold Reprogramming (BTR) for AFLCMC workforce. The $15.171M CY to BY increase is due to additional authorizations ($17.992M) with an Average Work Year Cost (AWYC) increase of $0.001M), and a non-civilian pay decrease ($2.821M). The increase of 134 authorizations in this program element is due to workload transition within the Centers. The CY budgeted AWYC was ($0.150M) and the FY23 (BY) AWYC is ($0.151M). The AWYC increased by approximately ($0.001M) per authorization primarily due to a shift in the demographics as more personnel are retiring and being replaced with lower grade trainees and new hires. The non-civilian pay decrease is due to a FY22 (CY) HQ Management Support project completing.
