Improved warhead designs allow smaller warheads for a given yield, while better electronics and guidance systems allowed greater accuracy. As a result MIRV technology has proven more attractive than MRV for advanced nations. Because of the larger amount of nuclear material consumed by MRVs and MIRVs, single warhead missiles are more attractive for nations with less advanced technology. The United States deployed a MRV payload on the Polaris A-3 . The Soviet Union deployed MRVs on the SS-9 Mod 4 ICBM. Refer to Atmospheric Reentry for more details. SEE ALSO |
