• Sandia National Laboratories’ roots lie in World War II’s Manhattan Project and its history reflects the changing national security needs of postwar America. Sandia’s original emphasis on ordnance engineering — turning the nuclear physics packages created by Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories into deployable weapons — expanded into new areas as national security requirements changed.
• Our highest goal is to become the laboratory that the United States turns to first for innovative, science-based systems engineering solutions to our nation’s most challenging national security problems that threaten peace and freedom for our nation and the globe.
• Sandia also manages a significant number of research and development programs that are focused on a broad range of national security and scientific issues.
• Sandia National Laboratories’ 8,400 employees uphold a strong set of core values: integrity, excellence, teamwork, respect for each other, and placing service to the nation as our highest duty.
