Defense Programs
One of the primary missions of NNSA is to maintain and enhance the safety, security and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. NNSA, through its Office of Defense Programs, ensures that the U.S. nuclear arsenal meets the country's national security requirements and continues to serve its essential deterrence role. In partnership with the Department of Defense, NNSA's Defense Programs provides the research, development, secure transportation, and production activities necessary to support the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile.
