B61 Stockpile Systems
FY 2012 vs.
FY 2011
Request
($000)
The decrease results primarily from moving the B61 LES activities to
the LEP in anticipation of NWC approval of B61 Phase 6.3
Development Engineering. The approval will complete the LES and
enable a transfer of requirements to the B61 LEP funding line. The
remaining B61 life extension activity decrease results from the
reallocation of funds to the Readiness Campaign to address production
readiness requirements. Within the overall B61 decrease, there is a
B61 system sustainment increase of $6,901,000 which represents
funding for design activities in FY 2012 to replace the joint test
assembly flight recorder instrumentation and weapon evaluation test
laboratory system tester. -244,740
W76 Stockpile Systems
The decrease results from reduced production of the 1X Acorn Gas
Transfer Systems and the MC4380A Neutron Generators. This is
consistent with production schedule requirements. -1,138
W78 Stockpile Systems
The net increase consists of a decrease in NG production consistent
with USSTRATCOM operational requirements; and an increase for
the W78 LES which represents the beginning of the feasibility
study/option down-select (Phase 6.2/6.2a) process. +23,620
W80 Stockpile Systems
The increase funds the NG subassembly, timer driver development
lots, system qualification and transportation testing, and design,
development, and production of timers, detonators and NGs at Sandia
National Laboratories. This enables FPU in FY 2014. +10,251
