Strategic Weapon Deterrence
Modernization, Production, & Sustainment
General Dynamics Mission Systems has a 65+ year heritage of providing full life-cycle support for strategic nuclear ballistic missile guidance, weapon command and control, and communications systems. Our unique experience and proven capabilities are demonstrated through our support for the U.S. Air Force intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and Navy submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM) strategic weapon systems. General Dynamics offers proven capabilities in the design, development, production, and sustainment of strategic weapon systems. These capabilities demand understanding positive control, nuclear surety, radiation hardening, space and ballistic missile flight environments, high accuracy and reliability design, modeling, qualification, and higher quality standards than most other industrial areas.
Offering Unique Experience And Proven Capabilities To Support The Air Force Nuclear Enterprise
General Dynamics Mission Systems has designed, produced, installed and sustained every version of the Weapon Control System (Fire Control) for Polaris, Poseidon, Trident I and Trident II Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM). Additionally, we have been part of the team developing, testing, producing, deploying and sustaining the guidance systems for each of these missions. Today we continue sustainment in both areas as we support the Trident II D-5 Life Extension. This portfolio of experience and capability is directly applicable to the USAF ICBM mission. General Dynamics was recently selected to perform the ICBM Concept Design and Architecture-Guidance (CDAG) study, demonstrating our commitment to supporting the Nation’s strategic deterrence mission, today and into the future.
OVER 65 YEARS OF STRATEGIC WEAPON MODERNIZATION
We have over 65 years of experience in the design, production, installation, and sustainment of strategic nuclear weapon systems. We offer a proven track record of introducing new technology while maintaining nuclear surety, improving system performance, and lowering life cycle costs. General Dynamics is recognized by the Defense Science Board for our knowledge management approach to retaining critical skills. Knowledge management, systematically passing domain expertise and unique experience from generation to generation, is critical to the success of the future Nuclear Deterrent Enterprise.
