B61 LIFE EXTENSION PROGRAM
Abstract
B61 Life Extension Program (LEP): The LEP of the B61 gravity weapon will extend the service life of the weapon. Provides leadership, management, and oversight of the Air Force-led, joint Department of Defense (DoD) - Department of Energy (DOE) B61 Project Officer's Group (POG) and the joint DoD-DOE B61 LEP Development Engineering Phase feasibility, design, cost, and down-select study. Program also provides technical oversight of the DOE nuclear package LEP activities; develops weapons trainers, test equipment, tech data, and training for the B61 LEP; and conducts ground and flight tests and support aircraft integration for the B61 LEP. This may include weapon trainers, test equipment, tech data, training and training materials. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD), because it is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
