The Decision to Modernize U.S. Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles

Science, 1989
The issues surrounding the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) modernization decision are addressed. Consideration is given to both Rail Garrison MX and the mobile Midgetman system. The central thesis of this article is that the flexibility and survivability of the mobile Midgetman makes this system the preferred choice for the future.

Operational Improvements to the U.S. Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile Enable This Leg of the Strategic Triad to Assume the Role of the U.S. Intercontinental Ballistic Missile

1992
Abstract : The submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM) force has long been considered the most survivable and enduring of this nation's nuclear triad-- manned bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), and SLBMS. Historically the SLBM leg has depended upon the ICBM to provide the promptness and destructive capability essential to this ...

An investigation on LQR based optimal terminal states control for exo-atmospheric flight of super heavy hypersonic intercontinental ballistic missiles using Gauss pseudospectral method

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering
Using 3-DOF model for the launch vehicle, the governing dynamic differential equations for the flight of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in a rotating Earth model has been employed to form the optimal control problem (OCP). Based on the Gauss pseudospectral method (GPM) for the OCP, the state and control variables are discretized using the ...
