Abstract
B61 Life Extension Program (LEP): The B61 LEP will extend the service life of the weapon.

In accordance with Air Force Materiel Command mission assignment memo (dated 17 Feb 2011) and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)-Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU dated 28 June 2012), the USAF is responsible for development, acquisition & delivery of a guided tailkit assembly (TKA) and All Up Round (AUR) technical integration, system qualification & fielding of the B61-12 variant. 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.
