MIL-STD-1822A(USAF)
requirements are met is the system procurement/development organization that has program management responsibility; the responsible organization will designate a Single Manager to manage and overlook the nuclear compatibility certification process. The standard practices leading to a nuclear weapon system's nuclear compatibility certification are described in Section
4 and Appendixes A, B, and C.
5.2. Nuclear weapon system compatibility certification requirements.
This section lists specific requirements for tasks, analyses, and tests (identified in the Certification Requirements Plan (CRP)) necessary to show compatibility between the DoD developed nuclear weapon system and the NNSA developed nuclear weapons which it employs. The result of these tasks will be: (1) a Major Assembly Release (MAR) for bombs and warheads, (2) an Aircraft Compatibility Control Drawing (ACCD) for bombs, (3) a Compatibility Certification (CC) Drawing for cruise missile warheads, (4) a Statement of Compatibility (SOC), (5) a Nuclear Compatibility Certification Statement (NCCS), and (6) a Nuclear Certification Summary (NCS). The MAR, ACCD, CC, and SOC are DoE/NNSA generated documents; the NCCS and NCS are DoD/AF generated documents.
5.2.1 Aircraft with gravity weapons.
5.2.1.1 Aircraft Monitor and Control (AMAC) system.
The AMAC system will be analyzed and tested to ensure it meets the design and nuclear safety requirements. The results of these analyses and tests will be documented in two design reports: the AMAC Preliminary Design Report (PDR) and the Final Design Approval Report (FDAR). The specifics of these reports are contained in 6.5.1.
5.2.1.2 Electrical Interface Control Drawing (EICD).
The EICD (aka Electrical Compatibility Data) will be prepared to identify AMAC system configurations, interfaces, component locations, and other pertinent data (see 6.5.2).
5.2.1.3 Mechanical Interface Control Drawing (MICD).
The MICD (aka Mechanical Compatibility Data) will be prepared to define the mechanical aspects of the weapons suspension and release system, including electrical connectors as appropriate and in compliance with MIL-DTL-38999, and clearances during carriage and release (see 6.5.3).
5.2.1.4 Structural loads analyses and test (see 4.3.1.3).
Joint analyses/tests will be conducted by the weapon system contractor and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). The analyses/tests will determine the distribution of forces and pressures on the weapon(s) and aircraft to determine if the aircraft can safely carry the nuclear weapon(s) and if the structural capability of the weapon could be exceeded. The analyses/tests will include ground and flight environments as specified in the Stockpile-to-Target Sequence (STS) document and the Military Characteristics (MC). Limitations will be identified and provided for inclusion in the applicable DoE compatibility document.
5.2.1.5 Ejection characteristics (see 4.3.1.4).
Ejection characteristic (static drops) tests to assure proper weapon release, ejection velocity, separation, adequate fall-angle clearances, ejection forces, and proper lanyard retention under static-level flight conditions prior to in-flight separation tests will be conducted. Test parameters and instrumentation will be jointly determined by the system program office (SPO), DoE laboratories, AFNWC/NCS, and contractors. Production or equivalent hardware is required.
