handle is hein.gao/gaobabfdq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Status Of The Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Modernization Program The Department Of Defense is taking three major actions to modernize the intercontinental ballistic missile component of the U.S. strategic forces. Spe- cifically, DOD is --developing a small ICBM and its hard mobile launcher, --researching other basing technology, and --deploying Peacekeeper (MX) missiles in Min- uteman silos. Potential major issues of the small ICBM can now be identified. For instance, for a 500 missile force on hard mobile launchers --life cycle costs would be about $44 billion in 1982 dollars, --personnel requirements would be about 20,000 people, and --up to 28,000 square miles of land would be required for wartime operations. The Peacekeeper program is in production while development testing continues. Results to date have been positive. Current congressional action to limit the number of missiles deployed will affect program cost and schedule. x,'D S 7, Z GAO/NSIAD-65-78 JULY 8, 1985 l~couQ
