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 effectiveness of AF nuclear weapon systems in direct support to the military warfighters and force providers. Emphasis is placed on ensuring nuclear weapon system compatibility, validating nuclear safety designs, generating weapon system safety rules, developing flight profiles for safe and effective nuclear weapons delivery, exposing vulnerabilities which could compromise the authorized use of nuclear weapons, and developing mitigations to any nuclear weapon system safety, security, or effectiveness shortfalls (to include future concept development). These requirements are met through in-depth technical, operational, and intelligence evaluations, demonstrations, modeling and simulation (M&S), test and evaluation (T&E), trade studies, requirements analysis, and recommendations to planning, policy, and doctrine. Additionally, the program conducts DoD-required certification for legacy, modernized, and new 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 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 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.
