Peacekeeper (MX) Intercontinental Ballistic Missile System

GAO reported on the Peacekeeper (MX) Intercontinental Ballistic Missile System as part of its continued monitoring of major Department of Defense weapon acquisition programs. The design of the missile is essentially complete, flight worthiness of the missile has been demonstrated, and production of components for the first operational missiles has begun. As the missile transitions from a developmental to an operational configuration, ground and flight testing is scheduled to provide a level of confidence that operational requirements will be met. This testing will be done concurrently with missile production and deployment activities.
