Nuclear Weapon System Technology and Integration

Abstract

The AFNWC is the executing agency for the Nuclear Weapon System Technology and Integration (NWST&I) program that ensures the safety, survivability, security, and reliability of AF nuclear weapon systems in direct support to the military warfighters and force providers. Emphasis is placed on independent technical assessments in support of nuclear compatibility, nuclear safety design, technical orders, and weapon system safety rules. Also provides assurance of survivability and mitigation of vulnerabilities to these unique systems. These requirements are met through studies and analyses, demonstration, modeling and simulation (M&S), test and evaluation (T&E), trade studies, requirements analysis, and recommendations to planning, policy, and doctrine. This program also conducts DoD-required certification for legacy, modernized, and new nuclear weapon systems. Starting in FY23, this program provides funding for DoD-required certification for legacy, modernized, and new nuclear weapon systems (previously conducted in this program element, project 654236). This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program's funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY22 0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY23 0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
