Since 1955, Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) has served as the Navy command responsible for the cradle-to-grave life cycle support of the Navy's strategic weapon system (SWS). Today, that system is the Trident D5 Life Extension missile, the Navy's most lethal weapon aboard the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines (SSBN). Looking to the future, SSP is modernizing the Navy’s SWS for the future Columbia-class SSBNs and is pioneering advanced regional strike capabilities with SLCM-N and the non-nuclear CPS programs to enhance our nation’s maritime dominance. This year, SSP is celebrating 70 years of technical excellence, robust innovation, and significant milestones that have supported and shaped our nation's strategic deterrence capabilities. show less
