About BAE Systems and the U.S. Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs (SSP)
Our organization has supported the U.S. Navy’s (USN’s) Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) continually since the command’s inception in the 1950s. SSP developed the first sea-based, underwater-launched Strategic Weapons System (SWS), a defense system that is critical to our national security. SSP has maintained and upgraded the sea-based SWS for more than six decades, and we have been there every step of the way: it is the ultimate stealthy weapons system, and is one leg of the U.S. nuclear triad. Containing over 70% of our nation’s nuclear arsenal, its importance to maintaining world peace cannot be overstated. Development of the Columbia-class submarine—the most advanced nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine ever designed—and the D5LE2 system is underway, and rollout will begin within the next decade. The USN projects this system to be operational through 2084, meaning the program will have a total life span of more than 120 years. This is a truly unique program, and the BAE Systems employees who support it understand that they’re part of an important legacy. 

As a decades-long sole-source partner on multiple contracts on behalf of our customer, our program has remarkable stability and is concurrently experiencing significant growth. These factors combine to provide ample opportunity for professional growth and development for capable and talented individuals on our team.
