	MIRVs
		The idea of multiple warheads dates back to the mid-1960s, but the key year in the history of the MIRV concept was 1962 when several of technological developments made it possible for scientists and engineers to conceive of multiple, separately targeted warheads that could hit a growing list of Soviet nuclear threat targets.
		MIRV would be used to reduce collateral damage "by matching the yield to the target." MIRVs could hit point targets, such as a missile base or silo, so accurately that only a small nuclear warhead would be necessary to achieve the anticipated destruction.
		The yield of the Minuteman III MIRV is excised from this document but as of the early 1970s it approximated 170 kilotons, substantially less than the Minuteman I's 1.2 megaton yield.

		MIRV, acronym for multiple independently targeted reentry vehicle, a type of payload fitted on long-range guided missiles.
		The Soviet Union apparently lengthened its lead over the United States in numbers of missiles, as controversy continued in the U.S. Congress over the usefulness of the Safeguard antiballistic missile system.
		The first tests of the Minuteman 3 and Poseidon missiles, designed to carry multiple warheads, and the announcement that the Soviet Union has reached parity with the United States in ICBM's dominated the news of rockets and missiles this year.
