The Minuteman III is the only land-based ICBM in service in the US, and can carry up to three nuclear warheads and travel more than 8,000 miles to strike targets anywhere in the world.
The test launch program helps the Air Force evaluate the Minuteman III and gather data to keep the system effective. The test launches also demonstrate the readiness and capability of the US nuclear forces, and show the US commitment to maintaining a credible and capable nuclear deterrent.
