CBM modernization
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6927417
As part of its periodic reviews of the Air Force's intercontinental ballistic missile modernization effort, GAO evaluated the current and planned land-based ICBM force structure. During GAO's review, the Secretary of Defense announced that the 50 Peacekeeper missile force will be moved from the silos at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, to rail garrisons at various Air Force installations. This report discusses how the announcement provides an opportunity for the Air Force to revise its missile launch car acquisition schedule and to consider more fully operational test and evaluation results before deciding to begin initial and full production of the system.
