Simultaneously, SSP will develop and deliver the U.S. Navy’s non-nuclear Conventional Prompt Strike Hypersonic Missile capability to fill a critical deterrence gap in our full spectrum of deterrence.

Safeguard the special relationship between the U.S. and United Kingdom (UK) through the Polaris Sales Agreement (PSA) and Mutual Defense Agreement (MDA), benefitting both nations and supporting the UK’s Continuous At Sea Deterrence (CASD).
