The US Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced the development of America’s latest nuclear weapon.

The B61-12 Life Extension Program First Production Unit is a more accurate and lower-yield variant of the nuclear gravity bomb, capable of being air-dropped — either through “gravity or guided drop modes.”

Department of Energy Under Secretary for Nuclear Security and NNSA Administrator Jill Hruby remarked that the nine-year-old program “improves accuracy and reduces yield with no change in military characteristics, while also improving safety, security and reliability.”
