Strategic Deterrence

Strategic Deterrence Systems

Peace through strength

Boeing is a foundational partner in our nation’s mission of strategic deterrence. For over 65 years, we have ensured the safety, security and effectiveness of the nuclear triad to deter large-scale conflict and promote peace through strength.

We’re committed to delivering ready deterrence capabilities today and focused on developing modernized solutions for the future.

Ready around the clock

As the original equipment manufacturer of the Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system, Boeing has worked alongside the U.S. Air Force to keep the enduring system on uninterrupted alert for decades.

Today, Boeing is entrusted with leading and supporting Minuteman III contracts ranging from guidance sustainment and repair to environmental testing to keep the system ready and operational through the late 2030s and beyond.

Flexible from the skies

Boeing delivers strategic deterrence capabilities for the air-based leg of the nuclear triad, sustaining and modernizing the air-launched cruise missile (ALCM), B-52 bomber, and KC-46 and KC-10 tankers.

Survivable from the high seas

Boeing is the sole supplier of navigation systems for the U.S. Navy's ballistic missile submarines, with its Trident submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) navigation system installed fleet-wide.
