The Pentagon plans to spend $65 million to develop a new low-yield nuclear warhead design.
In a request to Congress to re-purpose the Department of Energy’s budget, the Trump Administration asked that $65 million be shifted to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) for “engineering development, and any subsequent phases, of a low-yield nuclear weapon†capable of being launched by a submarine, Defense News recently reported.
Funding for the warhead includes $22.6 million for Fiscal Year 2019 and $48.5 million for the Future Years Defense Program, which runs through Fiscal Year 2023.
