The Nuclear-Armed Sea-Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM-N) is a tactical nuclear weapon under development for the United States Navy since 2018. Proposed by the first Trump administration in the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review, it has been described as the first new US nuclear weapon since the end of the Cold War.
Considered for both attack submarines and surface combatants, the US Navy was specifically studying the missile for Virginia-class submarines. Supporters argue the missile would increase nuclear deterrence and assurance to allies, while critics argue it would lower the threshold and increase the risk of misunderstandings leading to nuclear war with Russia or China, and exacerbate a second nuclear arms race.
