The Strategic Air Command has validated a requirement to decrease the time it takes to retarget the Minuteman Missile. Air Force System's Command Ballistic Missile Office contracted with four aerospace companies to develop concepts to satisfy the Minuteman rapid retargeting requirements. The method that will be incorporated into the ICBM Integrated Electronics Upgrade program is still being debated. This analysis looks at the four studies and compares the study results against a base timeline and recommends a solution that will save the most time from targeting information generation in the launch control center to when the new targeting information is loaded into the missile's memory.
