Washington: The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) anticipates the delivery of the first production unit of the B61-13 nuclear bomb as soon as this month, a year sooner than planned, NNSA Acting Administrator Teresa Robbins said on Wednesday.

“Additionally, NNSA anticipates achieving the first production unit for the B 61-13 later this month, almost a full year ahead of schedule,” Robbins said during a congressional hearing.

Robbins also shared that the W88 Alteration 370 warhead maintains 100% on time deliveries to the US Navy, and is on track to finish production by the close of fiscal year 2025.

“The W80-4 program remains aligned with the Air Force schedule for the long range standoff missile and we expect a first production unit in September 2027,” she added.

The acting NNSA chief said that the W87-1 is currently planned to enter production in the early 2030s, while the W93 warhead is still on schedule to begin production in the mid-2030s.
