About Our Team:

As part of the Nuclear Deterrence (ND) Futures Office, the Responsive ND Architectures Department is responsible for creating, maturing, maintaining, and deploying standardized nuclear weapon interface solutions around data and power. Given that Modularity/block upgrades are the goal for next-generation weapon designs, our team enables modular solutions by using standard, flexible interfaces that meet emerging needs with proven survivability characteristics and varied capabilities that can be leveraged across future programs of record and A&E system demonstrators. With our products, component development and system integration efforts are simplified and resilient to late requirements changes without requiring major concession or redesign; multiple options can be carried forward until late in the development cycles; and fielded systems will be upgraded readily without interface redesign. Our solution space includes providing system flight demonstrators to include experiments, sensors, and bus-based telemetry solutions. Our team ranges in work from experiments on the bench to, to testing at state-of-the-art facilities, to flight testing with commercial rockets, university partnerships, and USAF/USN rockets.

In addition, our department is responsible for establishing and building internal and external partnerships with our National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Federal Program Managers, Air Force and Navy program managers, Sandia nuclear weapons component organizations, the Sandia science & technology community, system analysis and strategic partnering groups, the Kansas City Plant National Security Campus (NSC), and many others.
