Programs

We strive to become the laboratory that the U.S. turns to first for technology solutions to the most challenging problems that threaten peace and freedom for our nation and the globe.

At Sandia, national security is our business. We apply advanced science and engineering to help our nation and allies detect, repel, defeat, or mitigate national security threats. Our national security mission has grown from responding to the threat of the Cold War to countering a range of threats – some nuclear, others involving chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction, and other acts of terrorism.

Nuclear Weapons

Sandia’s primary mission is ensuring the U.S. nuclear arsenal is safe, secure, reliable, and can fully support our nation’s deterrence policy.
