DTRA and PAE SSP Conduct Knowledge Transfer Initiative for Nuclear Deterrence
From March 23-27, 2026, DTRA and PAE SSP engaged in a week-long knowledge transfer initiative, enhancing understanding of the Trident II D5 strategic weapons system. This collaboration emphasizes the importance of inter-service connections in maintaining national nuclear deterrence capabilities.

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the U.S. Navy's Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) conducted a knowledge transfer initiative from March 23-27, 2026. This program aimed to bridge gaps between different branches by providing insight into the Trident II D5 strategic weapons system and related support missions.
Participants included servicemembers from various roles who gained valuable context about the strategic nuclear Triad, which consists of the Trident II D5, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and nuclear-capable bombers. Insights into operations at facilities like Northrop Grumman and Travis Air Force Base highlighted the critical interdependencies within the deterrence community. This initiative reinforces the necessity for collaboration across services to maintain the United States' strategic edge.
