Troubled ICBM Program Back On Track With New Timeline

The US Air Force’s troubled Sentinel nuclear missile program is set to complete its restructuring this year, with plans to achieve initial capabilities in the early 2030s. The program, which aims to replace the decades-old Minuteman III missiles, has faced significant challenges, including a steep cost increase and unforeseen complications with modernizing missile silos. According to Air Force Gen. Dale White, the program is now back on track, with a new timeline in place and a focus on building new silos to house the Sentinel missiles. The program’s progress was first reported by Breaking Defense.
