Yes, for sure intertial and star guidance has been in use in ICBMs forever. But if the inertial guidance is far more accurate, perhaps this changes what you can do with conventional ICBM munitions. For instance being able to target something 10,000 miles away in a GPS-denied place with a 2,000 pound chemical explosive rather than using a cruise missile. Now you can take out someone’s leadership from US soil without using a nuclear warhead.
- ttul 2y ago… acknowledge all the problems with launching an ICBM and the adversary not knowing what type of warhead it carries, of course… just ignore me.
