Projected Costs of U.S. Nuclear Forces, 2025 to 2034
According to a report by the Congressional Budget Office, the cost of operating and modernizing the US nuclear arsenal will increase to $946 billion by 2034, which is a quarter higher than in the same forecast for 2023.
It is separately noted that the forecast does not take into account the cost overruns of 81% for the Sentinel ICBM program, which is being developed to replace the Minuteman III.
