The Defense Special Weapons Agency is the oldest defense agency, having evolved
from the Manhattan Project of World War II. Known variously over the years as the Armed Forces
Special Weapons Project, the Defense Atomic Support Agency, and the Defense Nuclear Agency,
DSWA is currently chartered under DOD Directive 5105.31. The Agency is designated to be the DOD
center of expertise for nuclear and special weapons effects, and operates under the authority,
direction, and control of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear and Chemical
and Biological Defense Programs (ATSD(NCB)). The Agency supports the ATSD(NCB) in all nuclear
weapons stockpile stewardship matters, including the annual nuclear weapons stockpile
certification and the nuclear weapons dual revalidation program with the Department of Energy.
As part of its stockpile stewardship mission, DSWA tracks the location and status of all U.S.
nuclear weapons. Agency personnel also conduct weapons effects research, training, and operational
unit inspections to ensure the safety, security, and reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile.
