MIL-STD-1822 Nuclear Compatibility Certification Of Nuclear Weapon Systems, Subsystems And Support EquipmentThis document describes standard practices for nuclear compatibility certification of nuclear weapon systems excluding nuclear facilities. Nuclear weapon system compatibility certification authority is derived from the 1953 Atomic Energy Commission AEC/Department of Defense DoD Memorandum of Agreement MOA and restated within numerous DoD and Air Force AF directives.

4.3       Compatibility certification activities/aircraft.

The  description  below  of  compatibility  activities  is  general  in  nature;  specific  compatibility certification requirements will be contained in the CRP and will be determined by the program's scope and for existing weapon systems undergoing modification, the overall impact on nuclear certification.   Cruise Missiles and Ground Launched Missiles (described in 4.4 and 4.5 below) are subject to Compatibility Certification activities similar to those of an aircraft/bomb with the exception that a CC is developed in place of the ACCD for Cruise Missiles, and MCs, STS, and ICDs for Ground Launched Missiles.

a.   Develop Six (6) Degrees of Freedom (6 DOF) model of nuclear weapon system and conduct system analysis using computer simulation (Responsible Agency (RA): Sandia National Labs (SNL)/Supporting Agencies (SA):  AFNWC.)

b.   Wind tunnel tests (RA:  Single Manager (SM)/SA:  SNL/Contractors/AFNWC). c.   Lug and sway brace loads analysis (RA:  SM/SA:  Contractors/AFNWC/SNL). d.   Static ejection tests (RA:  SM/SA:  Contractors/AFNWC/SNL).

e.    EM test and analysis (RA:  SM/SA:  SNL/Contractors/AFNWC).

f.    Mechanical fit tests (RA:  Program Office/SA:  SNL/Contractors/AFNWC).

g.   Vibration flight tests and analysis (RA:  SM/SA:  Contractors/AFNWC/SNL.). h.   Non-Combat Delivery Vehicles tests and analysis of (RA:  SM/SA:

Contractors/AFNWC/SNL).

i.        Weapon separation tests/analysis (RA:  SM SA:  Contractors/AFNWC/SNL). j.        Develop Mechanical Interface Control Drawing (RA:  SM/SA:

Contractor/SNL/AFNWC).

k.   Develop Preliminary Design Report (PDR) (RA:  SM/SA: Contractor/SNL/AFNWC).
