The office updates projections every other year at the direction of lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CBO attributed the increase to a ramping up of nuclear modernization \u2014 including the replacement of the E-4B National Airborne Operations Center and E-6B Take Charge and Move Out aircraft \u2014 as well as certain items appearing in budgets for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin\u2019s Skunk Works and RTX, until recently known as Raytheon Technologies, in April <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/2023\/04\/03\/northrop-lockheed-raytheon-team-up-on-navys-e-xx-doomsday-plane\/\" target=\"_blank\">announced they would collaborate<\/a> on the so-called TACAMO, which provides airborne coordination for the U.S. nuclear arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Biden administration promised to beef up NC3 and further protect the no-fail networks from cyber and electromagnetic attack. Newer nuclear arms are expected to enter the stockpile after 2030. With it comes the opportunity to embed contemporary information technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1054\" height=\"1124\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-07-17-at-2.31.47-PM.png.png\" alt=\"The Congressional Budget Office's projections for nuclear-weapons spending up to 2032.\" class=\"wp-image-113388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-07-17-at-2.31.47-PM.png.png 1054w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-07-17-at-2.31.47-PM.png.png?resize=281,300 281w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-07-17-at-2.31.47-PM.png.png?resize=768,819 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-07-17-at-2.31.47-PM.png.png?resize=960,1024 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1054px) 100vw, 1054px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Congressional Budget Office&#8217;s projections for nuclear-weapons spending. It features both the Defense and Energy departments. (Screenshot\/CBO)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About $756 billion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2022\/07\/21\/air-forces-new-nuclear-bomb-program-to-be-audited-by-military-watchdog\/\" target=\"_blank\">would be spent on the nuclear arsenal<\/a> between 2023 and 2032 if budget requests from the Defense and Energy departments are fully satisfied, the CBO said. Much of nuclear weapons infrastructure, including development labs and production sites, has deteriorated since the Cold War. Weapons, similarly, are undergoing complex refurbishment regimens, known as life-extension programs, to keep them ticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNuclear weapons have been an important component of U.S. national security since they were developed during World War II,\u201d the CBO said in its report. \u201cOver the coming years, the Congress will need to decide which nuclear forces the United States should field in the future and thus the extent to which the nation will continue to modernize those forces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lawmakers are seeking a potentially clearer catalog of spending on nuclear command, a topic that is closely guarded. Members of the House strategic forces panel, which oversees nuclear safety, nonproliferation, missile defense and other topics, included in a draft of fiscal 2024 defense legislation a provision establishing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/c2-comms\/2023\/06\/12\/lawmakers-seek-clearer-picture-of-nuclear-command-and-control\/\" target=\"_blank\">a major force program for NC3<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Major force programs are featured in Pentagon budgets as groupings of related efforts and resources. They are one of several lenses through which national security investment can be studied or tracked. Existing collections include research and development and support of other nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/07\/10\/white-house-wants-ukraine-inspector-general-out-of-defense-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\">Biden administration opposes a budget filter<\/a> for NC3, believing it to be administratively burdensome and disruptive of work already underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newer nuclear arms are expected to enter the
