MIL-STD-1822A(USAF)
of video taken from the release aircraft or from a chase aircraft. The USAF may also perform some computer analysis on the video to determine trajectory, orientation, and other important parameters. This data is used by the USAF to verify safety, accuracy, and other information. The video and computer-generated data are supplied to SNL for their analysis. SNL engineers use this information to verify that the bomb is released from the aircraft with the proper aerodynamic parameters. In a retarded drop, the weapon must not pitch or yaw beyond certain limits so that the parachute will operate correctly. Tests are also conducted at the extremes of the flight envelope to verify repeatable ballistics for freefall units or proper decelerations to operate weapon Environmental Sensing Devices.
4.3.1.11 Develop Mechanical Interface Control Drawing (MICD).
MICDs document the physical configuration of an aircraft loaded with bombs. The drawings are generally produced by a DoD contractor or by the USAF. The MICD is signed by the originator, the USAF contracting office, and SNL. The signatures are an indication that the drawing is complete and that it fully depicts the aircraft and the installation of nuclear bombs. Revisions to the MICD are submitted to the USAF for review and approval. The MICD consists of at least the following:
a. Signature block for responsible agency representatives. b. The aircraft external configuration.
c. The aircraft pylons with bombs installed configuration.
d. The aircraft weapons bay with bombs installed configuration. e. Ejector rack, pullout cables, and other details.
f. References to drawings to include the aircraft, the ejector rack, the appropriate bombs, and other items such as ECM pods, fuel tanks, and missiles.
4.3.1.12 Develop Preliminary Design Report (PDR).
In the early stages of a new aircraft design, a PDR is produced and reviewed in order to aid the designer in producing a certifiable AMAC design and supporting the preliminary AMAC test. The PDR consists of a report of hardware and software information which must describe and define the design concept to the extent that the components, as well as the operational capability of the system, are clearly understood. The PDR is prepared and presented by the AMAC designer to SNL and DoD (AFNWC/NCS) at a time sufficiently in advance of final design submittal as to allow for design changes. Any changes occurring after PDR must be concurred by all concerned prior to inclusion in the Final Design Approval Report (FDAR).
4.3.1.13 Develop Final Design Approval Report (FDAR).
The FDAR is a document required by all Aircraft Monitor and Control (AMAC) specifications that documents the AMAC design and ensures the AMAC system meets the AMAC specifications. It contains an electrical analysis of the AMAC system, including power supply characteristics, switching logic, monitoring circuitry logic, individual component characteristics and digital or analog control logic. In the case of an aircraft with an integrated AMAC, such as the F-16, it also contains a description of the software used to control the weapon interface. An FDAR shows a comparison of conservative design results obtained from analysis versus AMAC specification requirements. The FDAR is prepared by the designer of the AMAC system. The completed FDAR is reviewed and approved by SNL and the DoD (AFNWC/NCS).
