Kansas City Plant FY06 Technology Plan; KCP-613-8006
Kansas City, MO: Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, LLC, 2005. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Spiral bound. Format is 9 inches by 11 inches, with tabbed sections. 83, [1] pages. Printed mostly on both sides of the sheet. Illustrations (mostly in color). The sections in this plan are: Summary and Contents, Gas Transfer, Materials & Analysis, Miniaturization, Responsiveness, Surety, Wireless & Sensing Systems, and Resources & Applications. This is primarily a text documents with relevant illustrations. Inside the front cover is a notice that "Recipients of this document (KCP-613-8006) shall not disseminate additional copies to anyone other than DOE personnel and DOE contractor personnel requiring access pursuant to their assigned duties." Given the passage of time, advances in technology, and the relocation of the non-nuclear operations of the National Nuclear Security Administration into more modern facilities in the Kansas City, MO area, it is understood that this limitation no longer applies. Scarce surviving copy. The KCP Technology Plan summarizes technologies and technology investments strategically critical to the plant mission over the 10-year horizon. The plan captures the primary technologies that the KCP must provide for new product designs, responsiveness, cost, and security requirements for defense and national security. It is a key document used by the KCP management and technical staff to prioritize project, equipment, and facility investments related to technology. The FY06 Plan includes 13 focus areas which were organized into six thrusts based on the primary technology drivers of directed stockpile work and complementary work customers: Gas Transfer, Materials and Analysis, Miniaturization, Responsiveness, Surety, and Wireless and Sensing Systems. A narrative for each of the six thrusts and plans for the focus areas within each thrust are included in the individual tabs in this document. The Resource Plans section at the end of the document summarizes funding sources for FY06 and total funding each fiscal year through FY14. Forecast accuracy beyond FY07 was limited and subject to changing plans and funding.
The Kansas City Plant is a National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) facility managed and operated by Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies (formerly Bendix Aviation Corporation and Bendix Kansas City Division of Allied-Signal) that produces 99 percent of the nonnuclear material used in the United States nuclear weapon arsenal. It was renamed the Kansas City National Security Campus in 2015. The plant produces non-nuclear mechanical, electronic, and engineered material components for U.S. national defense systems such as high-energy laser ignition systems, microwave hybrid microcircuit production, and miniature electromechanical devices. The plant also provides technical services such as metallurgical/mechanical analysis, analytical chemistry, environmental testing, nondestructive testing, computer-based training, simulations and analysis, and technical certification.
The plant traces its history to the Pratt & Whitney plant dedicated by then Senator Harry S. Truman in 1942, which manufactured Double Wasp engines during World War II. In 1949 the Atomic Energy Commission commissioned the Bendix Corporation to build the non-nuclear components of nuclear warheads there. Bendix became AlliedSignal in 1983 and eventually Honeywell in 1999. Condition: Good.
