Accelerating our ambitions

Controversial Weapons Nuclear capability Current BAE Systems nuclear involvement We do not provide or manufacture nuclear weapons: We are building the Royal Navy's new Dreadnought submarines which will provide the UK's continuous sea deterrent for decades to come. We are not involved in manufacturing the Trident missile system nor nuclear warheads. In the US, we provide logistics and maintenance support for the facilities which store the US Trident and Minuteman missiles; we do not have the contract for the maintenance of the missiles. The French branch of MBDA is in charge of the development and production of the ASMPA air launched missiles (at the exclusion of the warhead) of the French nuclear deterrent. All ASMPA missiles currently held by the French forces were delivered between 2009-2011 – no further production of these missiles is expected. In 2016, MBDA received a contract for the mid-life update of these missiles. MBDA is not involved in the production of the nuclear warhead. – Sales associated with this are under 0.1% of Group sales. Why nuclear is important to BAE Systems and our customers Across the work streams detailed above this is over £1bn of revenues per annum for BAE Systems. The US, UK and French Nuclear deterrent is critical to their and the NATO defence and security shield.
