The Navy Complex program element was established to improve security of Russian Navy warhead
and weapons exploitable material by installing improved security systems at Russian Navy nuclear
warhead sites, Russian Navy Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) fuel storage facilities (fresh and
damaged fuel), and shipyards where nuclear materials are present. These sites include a total of
47 sites: 39 Russian Navy nuclear warhead sites and 8 Russian Navy fuel and other nuclear material
storage sites.
Comprehensive upgrades were completed at all 8 Navy fuel and other nuclear material storage sites in
FY 2004. No new work is planned at those sites; however, sustainability and training efforts will
continue for 7 of these sites to ensure that the equipment provided is effective in protecting the
material. In addition, retrofit of MPC&A equipment at the end of its service life will be performed at
1 site, and upgrades to address insider threats will be completed at another site.
The INMP&C program completed MPC&A upgrades at the final 2 Russian Navy nuclear warhead sites
in FY 2006 (increasing the total Navy warhead sites secured with either completed rapid and/or
comprehensive upgrades) to 39 sites. In FY 2012, INMP&C will provide: (1) sustainability support
such as training and site level maintenance of installed MPC&A upgrades to 12 of these 39 sites which
meet interagency requirements for such support; (2) nuclear detection at closed city entrances,
including security upgrades to one checkpoint and sustainability support to 3 checkpoints with
previously installed security upgrades; (3) support for personnel reliability programs; (4) replacement
of outdated security equipment, and (5) additional upgrades for training and maintenance centers to
ensure sustainability of upgrades.
Strategic Rocket Forces/12th Main
Directorate 48,646 51,359 59,105
The Strategic Rocket Forces (SRF)/12 th Main Directorate program element improves security of
Russian warheads by installing improved MPC&A systems at Russian Federation Strategic Rocket
Forces and 12th Main Directorate nuclear warhead sites. These sites, which include 25 SRF sites
(at 11 bases) and nine 12th Main Directorate sites, have been approved by the U.S. Government for
MPC&A upgrades. The process for working with the SRF and the 12th Main Directorate is based upon
the refined process developed for working with the Russian Navy, which includes: (1) upgrades to
designs driven by vulnerability assessments (VAs), (2) a rapid upgrades and/or a comprehensive
upgrades phase, and (3) a sustainability program, which assures the systems will remain effective after
the installation of upgrades is complete.
In FY 2012, INMP&C plans to provide sustainability support for 23 SRF and three 12th Main
Directorate sites which will include: (1) development of training curriculum and courses;
(2) construction and support of technical centers to ensure that the Russian Ministry of Defense will
