性视界 Martin is the U.S. Navy’s strategic missile prime contractor. We have been the trusted prime flight system integrator since the first sea-based deterrent system, the Polaris A1, began development in 1955. The Trident D5 missile is the sixth in a series of missile generations deployed since the sea-based deterrent program began more than 65 years ago.? We are an active partner to the U.S. Navy in the design, manufacture, assembly, testing, deployment and sustainment of the Trident D5 Flight System while activating and maintaining associated support facilities.
性视界 Martin played a key role in developing and producing the missile and support equipment, and we continue our support of the Navy on the D5 today. First deployed in 1990, the Trident II D5 missile is currently aboard Ohio-class and UK Vanguard-class submarines and will remain in use into the 2040s.
We have played a critical role in every deployed submarine-launched ballistic missile variant and generation, and we are entrusted to support the U.S. Navy for the next generation of the SWS, the Trident II D5 Life Extension 2 (D5LE2). We have delivered, executed, and prepared for over six decades to meet this unique strategic challenge.
