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.

4.7    Nuclear compatibility certification process.

The   Compatibility   Certification   process   for   aircraft,   gravity   weapons,   air-launched   cruise missiles,  ground-launched  missiles,  and  ICBM  weapon  systems  is  initiated  by  a  Nuclear Certification Impact Statement followed by a Basic Certification Requirements Plan (BCRP) that is coordinated through the process owners.  The simple flow chart above illustrates the process. The coordinated BCRP becomes a Certification Requirements Plan (CRP/FIGURE B-1, Block

1)   that   addresses   the   required   compatibility   certification   actions   to   include   testing, demonstrations and/or analysis (all actions required for the AFNWC/NCS or the ICBM NCM to

issue the Nuclear Compatibility Certification Statement (NCCS)).   The CRP is coordinated with

the  process  owners  and  action  agencies  for  final  signature  as  an  acknowledgement  that  all agree with the CRP activities and schedule.  To obtain gravity weapon compatibility certification, the  Single  Manager  is  required  to  generate  compatibility  certification  documents  such  as  the Electrical Interface Control Drawing (EICD), Mechanical Interface Control Drawing (MICD), and a  Final  Design  Approval  Report  (FDAR)  as  specified  in  the  Certification  Requirements  Plan (FIGURE 1, Block 2).   For ICBM systems, the ICBM NCM is responsible for generation of the required documents.

4.7.1    Aircraft/Air Launched Cruise Missile Systems Compatibility Certification.

The  AFNWC/NCS  will  review  the  compatibility  certification  documentation  and  coordinate necessary testing , demonstration or analysis identified in the Certification Requirements Plan (FIGURE 1, Block 3) with the Single Manager (reference Appendix B).   If no additional testing,
