This is the second year the NNSA was slated for a budget increase, although the FY18 request \u2014 $13.9 billion, an increase of 7.8 percent over the FY17 omnibus level \u2014 has yet to be enacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2018\/02\/02\/the-us-could-be-getting-2-new-nuclear-capabilities-here-are-the-details\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Nuclear Posture Review<\/a>, released Feb. 2, called for the development of two new nuclear weapons capabilities, as well as heavy investment in infrastructure to support the nuclear arsenal. But just how NNSA would do in the new budget, which has sometimes struggled with funding in comparison to the broader defense budget, was unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/federal-budget\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for all our coverage of the FY19 budget!<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of the NNSA\u2019s budget, just more than $11 billion are dedicated to weapons activity. The agency is currently doing a massive refresh on its warhead programs, which involves refurbishing and redesigning five warhead variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the Government Accountability Office <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2018\/02\/08\/gao-says-nuclear-warhead-office-still-cant-afford-planned-modernization\/\">has warned<\/a> that NNSA is underfunded for its needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding will be welcomed by proponents of the NNSA, particularly after comments <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2018\/01\/23\/as-trump-seeks-new-nuke-options-weapons-agency-head-warns-of-capacity-overload\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">from the previous administrator<\/a>, retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Frank Klotz, that his agency was \u201cat capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, the NNSA could be in line for another plus-up in the FY20 budget. Speaking during the NPR rollout, Steve Erhart, acting undersecretary for nuclear security and NNSA administrator, said to expect \u201cmore fidelity in the budget request in the following year, FY20.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Nuclear Security Administration gets a major boost as the Pentagon expects it to do more to refurbish America&#8217;s
