Warrior Talks to Maj. Gen. Colin Connor - Director of ICBM Modernization, US Air Force Global Strike Command
by Kris Osborn, Warrior President

Heavier, faster, more lethal, cyber hardened and more reliable are just a few of the attributes woven into the US Air Force’s new Sentinel ICBM, a revamped weapons modernization effort slated to deliver an operational missile in the early 2030s.

The Sentinel ICBM weapon is expected to deliver a new generation of paradigm-changing technologies capable of more precisely hitting a wider scope of targets with diverse nuclear payloads across longer ranges with greater precision. Perhaps of greatest significance, the Sentinel is being built to be more “reliable” and “resilient,” meaning it will be much more likely to survive countermeasures and missile defenses and successfully continue on its trajectory to an intended target.

“The Sentinel has a longer range and can carry more weight,” Maj. Gen. Colin Connor, Director of ICBM Modernization, US Air Force Global Strike Command, told Warrior in a special interview.

By 2030, should the military hit the target date, which is something they don't do very well, those could well be 450 outdated weapons.  Since they are already boasting about it, it makes me think the US already has something more advanced they're hiding.
