Surveillance Workload Divinator (SWORD)

The LANL Surveillance Workload Divinator (SWORD) is a high-level decision support tool that reproduces and predicts the annual values for stockpile and production disassembly and inspections (D&I) and rebuilds. SWORD, a spreadsheet-based tool, can be used to assess the surveillance workload under various planning scenarios. Results are shown graphically and updated dynamically for each weapon system or for the entire stockpile. Surveillance workload is calculated from stockpile surveillance guidance1 and from Production and Planning Directive (P&PD) data.
