Description

The Pentagon is poised to begin development of a new generation of long range delivery systems. Such systems may be more dangerous than proposed improvements in nuclear warheads. At the same time, the gov’t. is considering options for replacement of the intercontinental ballistic missiles that are the core of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. New delivery systems for nuclear weapons would involve many of the same technologies, from more maneuverable re-entry vehicles to improvements in guidance systems, that would be developed for long-range missiles carrying non-nuclear payloads. These technologies could provide the building blocks for new nuclear capabilities.
