Description

The Obama Admin. has resolved to maintain all three types of systems that can deliver nuclear weapons over long ranges äóî submarines that launch ballistic missiles (SSBNs), land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and long-range bombers äóî known collectively as the strategic nuclear triad. The Admin. also has resolved to preserve the ability to deploy U.S. tactical nuclear weapons carried by fighter aircraft overseas in support of allies. Most of those delivery systems and nuclear weapons are nearing the end of their planned operational lives and will need to be modernized or replaced. In addition, the Admin.äó»s review calls for more investment to restore and modernize the national laboratories and the complex of supporting facilities that maintain the nationäó»s stockpile of nuclear weapons. This report provides estimates for the costs over the next 10 years of the Admin.äó»s plans for operating, maintaining, and modernizing nuclear weapons and the military systems capable of delivering those weapons.
