MIL-STD-1822A(USAF)
3.30 Nuclear Certification.
The Air Force Nuclear Certification Program, defined in AFI 63-125, ensures all procedures, software, personnel, equipment, facilities, and organizations are certified before conducting nuclear operations with nuclear weapons or nuclear weapon systems. Nuclear Certification occurs when a determination is made by the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center's Commander that: (1) procedures, software, equipment, and facilities are sufficient to perform nuclear weapon functions (Design Certification); and (2) personnel and organizations are capable of performing assigned nuclear missions (Operational Certification).
3.31 Nuclear Certification Impact Statement (NCIS).
The document issued by the Single Manager to initiate the nuclear certification process. This statement advises the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center's Certification Manager and other certification process owners that a new weapon system or a change to an existing weapon system, equipment item, software, or procedure needs to be evaluated. The process owners determine if this change impacts nuclear certification of the system. If nuclear certification is required, the AFNWC's Certification Engineer releases a Basic Certification Requirements Plan.
3.32 Nuclear Certification Summary (NCS).
A document issued by the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center's Certification Engineer to advise the Single Manager (SM) that all Design Certification and Operational Certification actions prescribed in the Certification Requirements Plan are complete and nuclear certification is granted.
3.33 Nuclear Compatibility Certification.
Nuclear Compatibility Certification is the process of verifying that the equipment item or weapon system meets design and evaluation requirements for the electrical, mechanical, and aerodynamic interfaces between the delivery vehicle or equipment item and the nuclear weapon. Nuclear Compatibility Certification is a joint effort of DoE/NNSA and DoD to integrate a nuclear weapon into a weapon system.
3.34 Nuclear Compatibility Certification Statement (NCCS).
A document issued by the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center/NCS when all aspects of compatibility certification have been completed. The NCCS documents the nuclear weapon system configuration, carriage/delivery parameters, test information and references pertaining to compatibility of the delivery system with the nuclear weapon(s). Release of the NCCS constitutes nuclear compatibility certification of the delivery system with the specific weapon indicated. The NCCS is broken into seven (7) sections as follows:
Section I: Aircraft System General Information
Section II: Aircraft Monitor and Control (AMAC) System Components
Section III: Suspension and Release Equipment
Section IV: Compatible Weapon/Equipment Configuration
Section V: Carriage and Employment Limitations
Section VI: AMAC Testers
Section VII: Appendix (to include):
