Engineering Analysis

Abstract

The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center is the 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 conducting mission-level cyber risk analysis, integrating cybersecurity into systems engineering, enhancing adaptability and agility via modular design and approaches, developing a cyber-savvy workforce, increasing assurance in fielded systems in a cost effective and efficient manner, increasing the integration of cyber intelligence and enabling cyber operation flights and cyber protection teams. 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; training; safety, security, and reliability; Air Force legacy nuclear stockpile management/retirement; nuclear certification and nuclear certification management. The AFNWC will partner with external agencies to achieve cross cutting solutions to mitigate cyber vulnerabilities. The development of Model Based System Engineering will facilitate the testing and analysis of nuclear weapons systems.
