The U.S. War Department announced a fiscal‑year 2027 budget request that allocates $1.5 trillion, including $71.4 billion for modernizing the nuclear triad. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the money will upgrade air, land, and sea components. The proposal includes $6.1 billion for the B‑21 Raider bomber, $4.6 billion for the LGM‑35 Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile, $1.5 billion for a long‑range cruise missile, and $16.2 billion for the Columbia‑class ballistic‑missile submarine. The request also provides funds for infrastructure, testing, and industrial‑base development. Hegseth highlighted the need to counter adversaries such as Iran, and said the budget strengthens deterrence and the private‑sector war‑fighting capacity. The proposal was presented to the Senate Armed Services Committee on April 30, 2026.
