One of NNSA’s core missions is to ensure the United States maintains a safe, secure, and reliable nuclear stockpile. These weapons—along with the submarines, ballistic missiles, and aircraft that deliver them—constitute the nation’s strategic deterrent. For more than 75 years the nuclear deterrent has underpinned America’s security, deterring our adversaries, reassuring our allies and partners, and promoting global stability.
The Office of Defense Programs is responsible for maintaining and modernizing the stockpile. Our engineers and technicians ensure the health of the weapons by studying and replacing components and materials as they age. Scientists conduct experiments using some of the most advanced facilities in the world to enhance our understanding of weapon performance. Production facilities manufacture the thousands of materials and components that comprise modern nuclear weapons, assuring their long-term reliability.
