The Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) program has begun building a full-scale silo prototype to validate modular construction, reduce risk and costs, and support timely modernization of the U.S. land-based nuclear deterrent.Learning Outcomes:
- Understand ICBM infrastructure as critical to sustaining credible, continuous nuclear deterrence.
- Assess how modular, repeatable silo construction enables faster deployment, cost control, and scalability.
