Description
Description — B61-12 Trainer
The purpose of this program is to conduct and support United States Air Force (USAF) and Joint Department of Defense (DoD) / Department of Energy (DOE) acquisition activities for the modernization of nuclear weapons. Background: B61-12 Life Extension Program (LEP): The B61-12 LEP will integrate DOE efforts to extend the service life if the warhead with DoD efforts to develop a guided Tail Kit Assembly (TKA) required to maintain current B61 mission characteristics. Programmatic integration of the Air Force-led, joint DoD-DOE program is accomplished through the B61 LEP Project Officers Group (POG) and its subgroups. In accordance with Air Force Materiel Command mission assignment memo (dated 17 Feb 11) and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)-Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU, dated 28 Jun 12), the USAF is responsible for development, acquisition and delivery of a guided TKA and for All Up Round (AUR) technical integration, system qualification and fielding of the B61-12 variant on multiple platforms. The production effort for the B61 TKA includes the production and delivery of TKAs, accessories, spares, ancillary equipment, Code Management System equipment, TKA and AUR trainers, lot acceptance test assets, and support. The B61 Developmental Test program is complete. Milestone C approved October 2018; the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) approved proceeding into LRIP/Lot 1, as well as Lot 2 Advanced Procurement in support of Full Rate Production. Initial Operational Test and Evaluation activities were completed in 1QFY20; the DOT&E Beyond Low Rate Initial Production final report was published in September 2020. The Full Rate Production decision was approved by the MDA on 19 Oct 20, which included an additional 60 units to fulfill the 90/10/2 surveillance requirements. Funding may be used to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues. Funding for this exhibit contained in PE 0101125F. Previous B61 efforts were accomplished in WSC 354040, which ended in FY 2022.
Justification
Justification — B61-12 Trainer
FY 2026 funding will allow the B61-12 Trainer program to procure additional B61-12 Type 3C trainers, B61-12 Type 3E ground handling/aircraft loading trainers, and spares for the operations and maintenance required by emergent AFGSC requirements. The procurement includes trainers, spares, associated specially designed test/handling equipment and operations/maintenance life-cycle sustainment spare parts. These training weapons, ancillary test/handling equipment, and spare parts are required to train, support, certify, and maintain proficiency in support of nuclear surety operations performed primarily by aircraft and nuclear weapons maintenance personnel. Also, the program will evaluate DMS material shortages, obsolescence issues, and reliability improvement, including flight testing. The program will allow the USAF to support the custody, operations, and maintenance of the B61-12. Since FY 2025, total cost to complete has risen by 35M and the program schedule extended to FY30. The increase is based on historical risk factors in working under NNSA full cost reimbursable requirements and requalifying the production line. The complexity associated with requalifying the NNSA production line is driving delivery timelines to the right. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.133 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative.
