Nuclear Weapons Support
Abstract
The modernization of legacy nuclear systems, development of new nuclear-capable aircraft and munitions and the creation of the new Weapon Generation Facilities (WGF) within Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) may require new support equipment capabilities to meet system and mission requirements. Additionally, the WGF introduces a new concept of operations by integrating maintenance and storage mission sets into one facility. To support mission generation requirements, support equipment and capabilities related to the nuclear enterprise must be studied, reviewed, modified, or in extreme cases, re-developed in order to maintain operational readiness. Examples of equipment under review include, but are not limited to, power generation, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), munition trailers/accessories, munition lifts/accessories, tow vehicles, and munition test/maintenance stands such as the MHU-141, MHU-174, MHU-194, MHU-196/204, MHU-83 & MB-4. Any identified capability gaps may result in the design of new systems. The review, analysis and potential modification of existing equipment ensures mission generation remains executable.
