New Mexico Operations
New Mexico Operations (NMO), a division of the Kansas City National Security Campus, is a state-of-the-art engineering, applied science and manufacturing facility based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
NMO was founded in 1964 as part of the U.S. Atmospheric Nuclear Testing Readiness program and joined Allied Signal’s Kansas City Division – which would later become the Kansas City National Security Campus – thirty years later.
The acquisition of NMO added to KCNSC’s extensive skills mix and the site’s 300+ employees now produce a wide array of national security products, components and government services for the Department of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
NMO’s Primary Missions
NMO's diverse portfolio offers critical security services across the complex. We play and important role in the safe and secure transport of government-owned special nuclear materials and serve the Office of Secure Transportation and the Office of Counterterrorism and Counterproliferation.
NMO refurbishes and repairs a fleet of Safeguards Transporter (SGT) semi-trailers. Federal agents use the vault-like vehicles to safely transport nuclear materials for the NNSA and the Department of Defense (DOD).
To prepare for the next generation of secure transportation, KCNSC’s NMO's team has partnered with Sandia National Laboratories to design and produce the Mobile Guardian Transporter (MGT).
NMO’s Emergency Response team supplies depot and logistics management for the NNSA’s Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST) and other interagency nuclear incident response partners.
The team is committed to preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons worldwide and is prepared to deploy at a moment’s notice in response to an unforeseen radiological event.
Commitment to Community
KCNSC proudly invests nearly $100,000 into the Albuquerque community each year through academic scholarship programs and mission-focused corporate donations.
