Weapons Effects Development and Analytical Design

Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC)/Operational Weaponeering and Analysis Division (EZW) maintains the responsibility to monitor and provide war material reserve support. DSIAC supported AFLCMC/EZW in their effort to identify data voids, develop weapons effects inputs, and incorporate new information into the appropriate databases for continuity with the Non-Nuclear Consumables Annual Analysis and other studies using the data. The currency and availability of these products are important for addressing munitions effectiveness issues, as they ensure that weapon stockpiles and competing munitions systems are properly assessed and adequately represented in the annual consideration of future munition purchases. DSIAC contracting evaluated numerous weapons, characterized their effects, and added them to the weapons effects database.
