 Advanced Inertial Reference Sphere
The AIRS (Advanced Inertial Reference Sphere) is the most accurate inertial navigation (INS) system ever developed, and perhaps marks the end of a long process of continuous refinement of INS technology.
The alignment of the sphere is controlled by three hydraulic thrust valves directed by the inertial sensors in the sphere.
Very little of the precision of this guidance system is even exploited during a ballistic missile flight, it is mostly used simply to maintain guidance system alignment on the ground during missile alert without needing an external reference through precision gyrocompassing.

 Peacekeeper (MX) ICBM Specifications
The Peacekeeper is guided by an Inertial Reference Sphere navigation system by Rockwell Autonetics, a gimballess AIRS (advanced inertial reference sphere), and is more accurate than any previous ICBM, reaching 100 m (330 ft) CEP.
Each AIRS (Advanced Inertial Reference Sphere) assembly cost over $300,000 and took some 6 months to construct from a set of 19,000 parts.
Peacekeeper ICBM has a titanium triconic payload shroud which is approximately fifteen feet long.
