But because of the timing of the NPR and the release of the fiscal 2019 budget request, the NNSA didn\u2019t receive any funding for that program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March, NNSA head Lisa Gordon-Haggerty said her office was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/nuclear-triad\/2018\/03\/20\/nuclear-warhead-manager-seeks-fy19-funding-for-new-nuke-designs\/\">working with OMB<\/a> to try and find the money for the warhead design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Defense Department\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/nuclear-triad\/2018\/03\/19\/dods-cost-of-low-yield-nuclear-warhead-for-submarines-set-at-485-million\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">funding portion for the warhead<\/a> sits at $22.6 million for FY19 and $48.5 million spread over the life of the Future Years Defense Program, or FYDP, a series of projected numbers that cover through FY23, meaning the combined cost for the development in FY19 will be $87.6 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The warhead design will be based off the existing W76-1 warhead for the Navy\u2019s Trident ballistic missile. According to the OMB document, the low-yield variant will be known as the W76-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While that design choice is expected to keep the costs fairly low, it is important for NNSA to get the funding lined up in FY19, as the W76-1 refurbishment program is expected to be completed in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs closeout of the W76-1 program was planned to occur in FY 2019, commencement of this new program (W76-2) is needed in FY 2019,\u201d the OMB request reads. \u201cDelays to the start of the modification in the existing program would require a restart of the W76 production line, increase costs, and delay delivery to the Department of Defense.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
