Navy Eyes Sea Based Missile Shield to Eliminate Land Targets
The Navy proposes a sea based long range system ULMS to move 75 percent of the U S nuclear force to submarines and out of land based ICBM sites. Plans call for Poseidon era MIRV missiles with a 5000 nautical mile range, new quiet subs, and advanced inertial navigation. Officials say the strategy reduces land targets and aims to deter Soviet attack while keeping options open.
