This involves verification of selection of suitable materials, calculated loads and forces, and verification of structural elements such as beams, columns, foundations, and slabs.
• Structural Analysis: Perform detailed analyses to assess the behavior and response of structures under various loading conditions. Use computer software and mathematical models to simulate and predict the performance of structures, ensuring they can withstand anticipated loads, such as gravity, wind, seismic forces, and temperature changes. The analysis helps determine the internal forces and deformations within the structure, verifying the design process and ensuring its safety.

For more than six decades, SSP has maintained and upgraded this weapon system and we have been there every step of the way. The sea-based SWS is the ultimate stealthy weapon system and as the first leg of the U.S. nuclear triad. With over 70% of our nation's nuclear arsenal its importance to maintaining world peace cannot be overstated. The development of Columbia, the most advanced nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine ever designed, as well the next D5LE2 weapon system is under way and will begin to be rolled out over the next decade. The Navy projects this system to be operational through 2084, meaning the program will have a total life span of more than 120 years.
