About the Submarine Delivery Agency
Just like DE&S, the Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA) is part of the UK’s Ministry of Defence (MOD). The SDA was established to strengthen the procurement, in-service support and disposal of UK nuclear submarines – some of the most complex programmes in the world. We provide assured capabilities to the Royal Navy that are crucial to the delivery and maintenance of the Continuous at Sea Deterrent (CASD).
The SDA forms part of the Defence Nuclear Enterprise (DNE) and works with a range of Government organisations and industry partners. This enables us to deliver our purpose: ‘to be the Defence Nuclear Enterprise’s delivery agent for submarines’. Collectively, we to work to deliver the UK’s Nuclear Deterrent as a National Endeavour. Prior to becoming an Executive Agency in 2018, the SDA was part of DE&S. Although now a separate agency, the SDA still works closely with DE&S on several key projects.
