AWE
AWE is formed of three equal shareholders – Lockheed Martin, Serco and Jacobs Engineering Group in a contract that extends until March 2025.
AWE has been central to the defence of the United Kingdom for more than 50 years and provides and maintains the warheads for the country’s nuclear deterrent, Trident.
AWE's role is to manufacture and sustain the warheads for the Trident system, ensuring optimum safety and performance, but also to maintain a capability to produce a successor system should the Government require one in the future.
The work at AWE covers the entire life cycle of nuclear warheads; from initial concept, assessment and design, through to component manufacture and assembly, in-service support, and finally decommissioning and disposal.
