	M51 SLBM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M51 SLBM is the future French Navy's submarine launched ballistic missile, designed to replace the M45 SLBM.
		The missiles are a compromise over the M5 design, which is to have a range of 11,000 km and carry 10 TNO MIRV of the new generation (Tête Nucléaire Océanique, "Oceanic nuclear warhead").
		The M51 will enter service in 2008, before the M5 system, scheduled for after 2015.

		The first boats are expected to carry the improved M-45 variant SLBM, until the M-5 becomes available in 2010.
		The M51 system is destined to arm the SNLE-NG from the year 2010.
		The M51 missiles have a range of around 6,000 km and cost 32.7 billion francs to develop rather than 42 billion for the M5.

		Although the test involved an M45 ballistic missile, the main purpose was to assess materials and equipment for the M51.
		The first test flight for the M51 itself is not due until 2005, while delivery is expected to begin in 2008, to enter service around 2010.

	Intercontinental ballistic missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The French Navy constantly maintains at least four active units, relying on two classes of nuclear-powered ballistic submarines (SSBN): the older Redoutable class, which are progressively decomissioned, and the newer Triomphant class.
		These carry 16 M45 missiles with TN75 warheads, and are scheduled to be upgraded to M51 nuclear missile around 2010.
		Trident - (UGM-93A/B) SLBM - Trident II (D5) was first deployed in 1990 and is planned to be deployed past 2020.

		The M51, which is a modified version of the cancelled M5, will eventually arm all four SSBNs.
		The M51 was initially planned to carry an entirely new type of warhead (TNO, tête nucléaire océanique), but the combination of costs, changing strategic requirements and the cessation of nuclear weapon testing means that the missile will instead be equipped with a more robust version of existing designs.
		A dispute over increased costs briefly brought M51 development to a halt in the autumn of 2000 and efforts to control costs may force changes to the specifications of the missile.

		The M51 SLBM is the future French Navy's submarine launched ballistic missileSubmarine-launched ballistic missiles or SLBMs are ballistic missiles delivering nuclear weapons that are launched from submarines.
		Modern variants usually deliver multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) each of which carries a warhead and allows a single launched missile to strike a handful of targets.
		The first successful tests of a submarine-based launch platform were by German U-boats in World War II using a submarine towed launch platform.

		The United States would retain SLBMs as a central element of its strate- gic nuclear forces, although a reduction in the number of SLBM warheads would probably be required.
		One option for reducing the number of SLBM warheads would be to fur- ther download each Trident II missile from 5 to 4 warheads, which might allow all 14 ballistic missile submarines to be retained.
		The Trident II SLBMs are assumed to carry 4 warheads, with three missiles per submarine, for a total of 96 warheads on eight submarines.
