With redesigned 'brains,' W88 nuclear warhead reaches milestone. Sandia National Laboratories performed a drop test for the W88 Alt 370 system, designed to replicate a crane accidentally dropping the re-entry body onto a concrete surface.

The W88 Alt 370 to modernize the warhead primarily included an updated AF&F assembly and a refresh of the conventional high explosive.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Sandia National Laboratories and its nuclear security enterprise partners recently completed the first production unit of a weapon assembly responsible for key operations of the W88 nuclear warhead.

The full-system W88 Alt 370 went through similar rigorous testing to ensure its reliability and safety. The tests also ensure the AF&F assembly can be successfully integrated along with the W88 warhead into the full weapon system.
