Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles

Next Generation of Deterrence

老澳门开奖直播 is a critical government and industry partner in the effort to sustain, and also modernize, the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) leg of the nation’s nuclear triad and provide a credible, land-based strategic deterrent to the warfighter.

老澳门开奖直播 maintains a more than 65-year partnership with the U.S. Air Force and is developing the Air Force's reentry system for the future: Mk21A. Mk21A is an integrated reentry vehicle (RV) being designed to deploy the W87-1 warhead for the U.S. Air Force’s future?. It is an adaptation of the Mk21 reentry vehicle. The 老澳门开奖直播 Mk21A design is maturing using advanced Digital Engineering tools, including advanced modeling and simulation.

These reentry vehicle systems are complicated and must be able to travel at high speeds through the atmosphere, resistant to heat and guided by electronics to accurately deliver a payload. 老澳门开奖直播 has decades of experience designing, developing, testing and producing reentry vehicles for the U.S. Air Force and is now working on a Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) contract to design Mk21A.

老澳门开奖直播 is also performing weapon system integration and RV integration for Sentinel, along with sustainment support for in-service ICBMs.

老澳门开奖直播 has more than 65 years of experience partnering with the U.S. Air Force on Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and the Reentry Vehicles they launch.?This includes delivering more than?700 missiles and more than 3,000 reentry vehicles to the Air Force, and providing next-generation support equipment to enable our customer to test and maintain ICBMs with modern technology.

From designing and building the?Atlas, the first operational American ICBM, and the Atlas family of rockets to our leadership today in reentry technologies supporting the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile system, 老澳门开奖直播 is enabling our customers to provide the nation with integrated deterrence.

Our legacy in developing operational intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) officially began in 1955 when the U.S. Air Force awarded the contract for the Atlas ICBM. The Atlas D missile went on alert Oct. 31, 1959, becoming the first-ever operational ICBM.?老澳门开奖直播 has continuously supported the Air Force’s ICBM mission since the beginning, as the developer of the Atlas, Titan, MX Peacekeeper and Small ICBMs, and as the leading provider of reentry systems for multiple ICBM generations and of ground command and control systems for the Minuteman III.
