ADC Statement of Work

USAF & USN CAD/PAD STATEMENT OF WORK - AMMUNITION DATA CARDS

January, 2018
Ammunition Data Cards (ADC) shall be prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-1168 (current revision) and shall follow the format required by the application identified as Worldwide Ammunition-data Repository Program (WARP). All of the requirements of MIL-STD-1168 apply but some are tailored in accordance with MIL-STD-962 to meet CAD/PAD program requirements as listed below.

The criteria and procedures for the assignment of lot numbers for energetic materials (pyrotechnics, propellants, explosives) including their constituents shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-1168.

All energetic materials (pyrotechnics, propellants, explosives) used in assemblies and sub-assemblies/components (i.e., igniter cartridges, delay elements, primer assemblies, explosive cord, etc.) shall be entered in the ADC using the common name, actual/original manufacturer’s part number & revision, lot number, and date of manufacture. Traceability shall be ensured by the original manufacturer’s documentation such as Certificate of Conformance (COC), Certificate of Analysis (COA), Quality Assurance Record (QAR) Quality Inspection Record (QIR), Quality Assurance Documents (QAD), Batch Record, or other equivalent documentation that would provide positive traceability in the event of a future product recall.

The contractor may list their own internal part number for energetic material that they re-designate or re-characterize but must also list the actual manufacturer’s part number, lot number, and date of manufacture in parentheses in a format that is searchable in WARP. Any GFM/GFP provided under contract to the vendor should retain government provided part/lot numbers and nomenclature to retain traceability. Ingredients which are used to synthesize or that are blended in a process to make the end item energetic material are not required to be listed. Examples of blended or synthesized energetic materials that shall be listed are HNS, Lead Azide, BKNO3, ZPP, HES 8028, etc. If the ages of energetic materials are older than the ages specified on the Airmunitions Specification or as specified elsewhere in the contract at the time the CAD/PAD devices become hermetically sealed, the date of energetic material recertification or any associated approved Request for Variance (RFV) shall be notated in the waivers and deviation description section.

Hardware components shall be fully traceable and identified by the original manufacturer’s lot identification information/documentation or qualified distributor’s documentation such as Certificate of Conformance (COC), Certificate of Analysis (COA), Quality Assurance Record (QAR), Batch Record, or other equivalent documentation that would provide positive traceability in the event of a future product recall. The actual date of manufacture is not required for any non-age degradable materials such as metal housings, tubes, sleeves, firing pins, nuts, bolts, washers, etc. The COC, COA, QAR, or Batch Record date(s) may be used for the DOM. Epoxies, sealants, curative, O-rings, and other organic materials shall be fully traceable to OEM with DOM and traceable via the original manufacturer’s lot identification documentation such as Certificate of Conformance (COC), Certificate of Analysis (COA), Quality Assurance Record (QAR) Batch Record, or other equivalent documentation that would provide positive traceability in the event of a future product recall. Materials or components that do not affect the reliability or safety of the end item (i.e., solvents, paints, lacquers, labels, dust caps, etc.) do not need to be listed on the ADC.
