The CAD/PAD Ammunition Data Card Master (Rev 16) provides a standardized template and guidelines for creating ammunition data cards, which serve as a “birth certificate” for each lot of ammunition. This document is essential for traceability, malfunction investigation, and reclassification of ammunition. It details required fields such as NSN, nomenclature, lot number, contractor, net quantity, contract information, manufacturing and inspection dates, explosive weights, test samples, and shipping data. The document also mandates a comprehensive list of components, including raw materials, and provides sections for remarks, waivers, and deviations. It includes critical information for accessing the Worldwide Ammunition Repository Program (WARP) and outlines future multi-factor authentication changes. The data card ensures complete and accurate documentation, highlighting the importance of precise information for safety and compliance within government ammunition procurement and management.

Attachment 2 details the requirements for preparing Ammunition Data Cards (ADCs) for USAF & USN CAD/PAD programs, emphasizing compliance with MIL-STD-1168 and the Worldwide Ammunition-data Repository Program (WARP). Key requirements include meticulous traceability for energetic materials (pyrotechnics, propellants, explosives) and hardware components, using original manufacturer's documentation like Certificates of Conformance. Contractors must list actual manufacturer's part numbers, lot numbers, and dates, even when using internal designations. Energetic materials exceeding specified ages require recertification or documented waivers. Hardware components require similar traceability, though manufacturing dates are not strictly required for non-age-degradable materials. Organic materials, however, need OEM traceability with manufacturing dates. The document outlines procedures for submitting sample and production ADCs through WARP, which integrates with the Munitions History Program (MHP), and details access methods for government and contractor personnel, including the necessity of DoD-approved digital certificates. WARP facilitates ADC creation, submission, and approval, with automated email notifications for process participants. Contractors must notify system administrators of new contracts and provide specific information for system updates.

This document outlines the mandatory marking instructions for Cartridge Actuated Devices and Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) items for all federal government RFPs, federal grants, and state/local RFPs. The policy, driven by the Under Secretary of Defense and the Air Force, requires items to be marked with Item Unique Identifiers (IUID) using both Human Readable Information (HRI) and Machine Readable Information (MRI). The standard format for MRI markings is Data Matrix ECC 200, as mandated by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). Key HRI requirements include item nomenclature, manufacturer’s CAGE, lot number, serial number, and part number. MRI data constructs specify the use of Data Identifiers for CAGE, part number, serial number, lot number, and date of manufacture. The document details placement methods for UID markings on data plates, labels, or directly on items, with special provisions for small items and kit components. Waivers for UID requirements are not permitted, although marking method waivers may be considered.

The DD Form 1694, titled "Request for Variance (RFV)", details a pre-production variance for the JM60 Catapult battery voltage check. The request, RFV Number 24CK999-V001, seeks to add a battery voltage check after the NO-FIRE SENSITIVITY test and before functional tests to ensure the battery voltage remains at required levels. The affected system is the CKU-5C/A (JM60) for F-16 and F-22 aircraft, specifically impacting the Inflation Device, Water Activated FLU-11/A (part numbers 855AS110, 1812-172-01). This is classified as a Minor variance, with no impact on performance, function, reliability, durability, integrated logistics support, interface, software, or cost. The variance is recurring, as a previous RFV was limited, and an Engineering Change Proposal (ECPXX-XXX) is in progress to update the Technical Data Package (TDP). The affected lots are K999-12345 and K999-67890. ABC Manufacturing, Inc. is the supplier, and the request is submitted by John Smith, Manufacturing Manager.
