OSTI ID:1614713
The W76-1 is a refurbished W76-0 warhead, which is a submarine-launched ballistic missile system that was first introduced into the stockpile for the Navy in 1978. The W76-1 Life Extension Program extends the originally designed warhead service life of 20 years to 60 years. The W76-1 continues to meet all missions and capabilities of the original W76-0 warhead and does not provide new military capabilities. NNSA completed refurbished warhead production at the Pantex Plant in December 2018.
