Kansas City National Security Campus

The Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC) is a pivotal facility in the U.S. nuclear defense landscape, producing 80% of the non-nuclear components for the nation's nuclear stockpile. Established in 1942 and evolving from its origins as a wartime aircraft engine plant, the KCNSC now operates in a state-of-the-art facility that emphasizes efficiency and sustainability, saving the government approximately $100 million annually. The campus not only manufactures critical components but also offers a range of technical services, making it a hub for innovation in national security. Located near the former Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base, the site is designed to attract the next generation of scientists and engineers, ensuring the reliability and safety of the U.S. nuclear deterrent.
