Mission

  • To assess the safety and surety of nuclear weapons
  • To provide solutions to global-security and conventional-munitions challenges

What we do

XTD-SS maintains and applies multidimensional numerical techniques to assess the safety and surety of nuclear weapons and to address global-security and conventional-munitions challenges. We use validated, verified physics models and methods and the quantification of uncertainties (QMU) process to obtain accurate and timely assessments and solutions.

Our success is measured by our customers within the nuclear weapons complex and the Department of Defense and by the peer-review process.
