PITTSFIELD, Ma. - Sailors from the USS Nevada (SSBN 733) attend Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) Program Management Office (PMO) Shipboard Systems (SPS) Reverse Strategic Weapons Systems (SWS) Week, August 5-6, 2025.
Reverse SWS Weeks are educational training opportunities modeled after the regularly occurring SWS Weeks at submarine bases on the East and West Coasts. SWS Weeks bring ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) and guided missile submarine (SSGN) crews, Navy support commands, and industry partners together to share new updates to the weapons system, troubleshoot issues, and forecast upcoming needs for the submarine fleet. Reverse SWS Weeks go a step further by bringing crew members out to SSP’s PMOs and detachments – dispersed throughout the nation – to give them an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the weapons system they maintain and operate while on strategic patrol.
As one of SSP’s two PMOs, SPS specializes in overseeing the development of the shipboard instrumentation, navigation, and fire control subsystems for the SWS and SSGN attack weapon system.
