The CAD/PAD Ammunition Data Card Master (Rev 16) serves as a critical
Attachment 2 outlines the requirements for preparing Ammunition Data Cards (ADCs) for the USAF & USN CAD/PAD program, primarily following MIL-STD-1168 and utilizing the Worldwide Ammunition-data Repository Program (WARP). The document details specific traceability requirements for energetic materials and hardware components, including manufacturer part numbers, lot numbers, and dates of manufacture, emphasizing documentation like Certificates of Conformance. It specifies how contractor-redesignated parts and government-furnished materials should be handled for traceability within WARP. The process for submitting 'sample' and 'final' ADCs through WARP for government review and approval before product shipment is described. Access procedures for WARP, including requirements for DoD-approved digital certificates, are provided. The document also covers ADC input, email notifications for process participants, and the procedure for contractors to update System Administrators with new contract information. The overall purpose is to ensure comprehensive and verifiable data for ammunition components, crucial for safety, recall, and quality assurance within federal government programs.
The CAD/PAD Item Marking Instruction, Version 1.6, mandates that Cartridge Actuated Devices and Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) items, regardless of dollar value, comply with Item Unique Identification (IUID) requirements. This instruction, prepared by the CAD/PAD Joint Program Office, details marking specifications for both new and remanufactured components. It requires both Human Readable Information (HRI) and Machine Readable Information (MRI), with Data Matrix ECC 200 as the standard for MRI. The document outlines specific data elements for HRI and MRI, placement methods for various item sizes, and special instructions for items delivered in kits and for JSF F-35 components. Waivers for the IUID requirement are not permitted, emphasizing the strict adherence to these marking standards to enhance accuracy in aircraft maintenance data.
This document is a Request for Variance (RFV) submitted by ABC Manufacturing, Inc. on February 14, 2024, for the JM60 Catapult battery voltage check. The variance is classified as minor and is pre-production, affecting the CKU-5C/A (JM60) model, specifically the FLU-11/A Inflation Device. The purpose of this RFV is to add a battery voltage check after the NO-FIRE SENSITIVITY test to ensure the battery voltage remains at required levels. This is a recurring variance, as a previous RFV (XXXX-XXX) was limited to a specific lot, and an Engineering Change Proposal (ECPXX-XXX) is currently in progress to update the Technical Data Package (TDP). The variance has no impact on performance, function, reliability, durability, integrated logistics support, interface, software, cost, or schedule. The affected lots are K999-12345 and K999-67890. John Smith is the originating activity and submitting authority. The document includes sections for approval and disposition by the approving authority and configuration approval authority.
