WASHINGTON (July 9, 2022) – Vice Adm. Johnny Wolfe Jr., director of Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) speaks with the United Kingdom's Secretary of State for Defence John Healey at a NATO Summit reception hosted by the Atlantic Council and the British Embassy. The event underscored the continued importance of NATO and emphasized the role that partnerships have played to ensure the growth and success of NATO over the past 75 years. Not only NATO partners, the United States and the United Kingdom have an enduring special relationship which includes the Polaris Sales Agreement, an international agreement established between the U.S. and the UK in April 1963. The agreement provides for the sale to the UK of the Trident Strategic Weapon System. Through the Polaris Sales Agreement, the United States and United Kingdom continue to strengthen NATO's collective defense and deterrence. Strategic Systems Programs is the Navy command that provides cradle-to-grave lifecycle support for Trident Strategic Weapon System. This includes training, systems, equipment, facilities and personnel responsible for ensuring the safety, security, and effectiveness of the nation’s Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile Trident Strategic Weapon System.
