Today’s ICBMs may operate until 2050, GAO says
The Air Force’s plan to replace the aging Minuteman III missiles is faltering so badly that officials may keep the 1970s-era system in service until 2050. A new GAO report points to soaring costs, flawed infrastructure plans, and staffing shortages as drivers of the Sentinel program’s delays. What was once billed as a modernization effort now risks turning into a half-century extension of Cold War hardware. Without stronger risk management, watchdogs warn, the project could continue to drift while costs climb even higher. Bradley Peniston with Defense One has the full story that matters more in Minot than most places.
