The Poseidon missile was the second US Navy Ballistic Missile system, powered by a two-stage solid fuel rocket. It succeeded the Polaris Missile beginning in 1972 , bringing major advances in warheads and accuracy. It was followed by Trident I in 1979 , and Trident II in 1990 . Poseidon, although longer and considerably heavier than Polaris A-3, had the same 4600 km (2500 nautical mile) range. It also had improved accuracy and up to fourteen W68 Multiple Independently Targetable Reentry Vehicle s (MIRV) in its warhead bus. SEE ALSO |
