MIL-STD-1822A(USAF)
(NWSSG) how the operational command will operate and maintain the nuclear weapon system. The operational command prepares the OPDD. If the OPDD is new or requires change to support an NWSSG study or review, the OPDD is prepared in sufficient time to ensure approval and distribution 6 months before the study is scheduled to begin. The OPDD describes:
• The nuclear weapon system's concept of operations.
• General operations commonly performed regardless of geographical location.
• Significant variations of the general operations.
• Normal operations in the stockpile-to-target sequence during peacetime, wartime, and periods of increased hostilities.
• Operations conducted under contingency plans.
3.42 Project Officers Group (POG).
A working-level body that coordinates activities associated with a particular nuclear weapon/nuclear weapon system. The POG provides a forum for the mutual development and transmission of information describing a new weapon/weapon system or sustainment of an existing weapon system. POG members include DoE and the National Laboratories, NNSA, DTRA, Military Services, using commands and others as required. POG members have the authority to carry out assigned responsibilities of their parent organization and act as points of contact for their agencies in coordinating the development/sustainment of nuclear weapons/systems and in assuring compatibility of associated weapon interfaces. POG functions include:
a. Coordinating the research, development, test, and evaluation activities performed by the Services, MAJCOMS, the using command and the DoE on joint DoE-DoD nuclear weapon/weapon system projects.
b. Providing visibility throughout the nuclear community and parent organizations on issues affecting certification, safety, cost, performance, or other significant matters.
c. Making technological trade-off decisions during the program that do not significantly change MCs or acceptability of the weapon, do not exceed program limits set by DoE-DoD, and remain below threshold program guidance issued by the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense (Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological/ATSD(NCB).
3.43 Pre-arming.
Operations that configure a nuclear weapon system so that arming, firing, launching, or releasing will start the sequence necessary to produce a nuclear detonation. Pre-arming is a critical function.
3.44 Release.
Nuclear weapon release is: (1) the intentional separation of a free-fall store from its suspension equipment for purposes of employment of the store, or (2) separation of a missile from a carrier aircraft with the intended result being programmed flight to target. Release is a critical function.
