	Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle, or MIRV, is one of a collection of nuclear weapons carried on a single intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) or a submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM).
		The post-boost stage (or bus) of a MIRV can dispense the warheads against multiple targets across a broad area.
		See also Multiple Reentry vehicle, Poseidon missile, Trident missile, Peacekeeper missile.

	Current World Nuclear Arsenals
		A reentry vehicle carried by a delivery system, which can place one or more reentry vehicle over each of several separate targets.
		Strategic nuclear weapons: Nuclear weapons intended to be used against counter-force targets (an opponent's nuclear weapons) or counter-value targets (an opponent's non-combatant population).
		While the phrase "strategic nuclear weapons" is often used to describe nuclear warheads attached to intercontinental delivery vehicles (missiles or aircraft), such usage is technically incorrect, as strategic targets can be nearby the state with the weapon in question.

	Foreign Affairs - The Cruise Missile: The End of Arms Control? - Alexander R. Vershbow
		Summary: The long-range cruise missile has touched off an arms control debate as controversial as the one seven years ago surrounding the MIRV (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle).
		Unlike a rocket-driven ballistic missile, which leaves the atmosphere at supersonic speeds and sails to its target in a bullet-like, arched trajectory, a cruise missile is continuously propelled by air-breathing jet engines, and flies at subsonic speeds without leaving the atmosphere.
		But today's advanced cruise missiles, as a result of rapid and simultaneous progress in several areas of technology (guidance, accuracy, engine propulsion-efficiency, fuel power and economy, warhead miniaturization), will be able to equal the performance of ballistic missiles in almost all respects-range, accuracy, kill-probability, penetrability-and at markedly lower unit costs.

		Systems based on land, sea, air, and in space which are capable of intercepting a missile during any phase of its flight are necessary to provide for the common defense.
		The routine test, which was designed to confirm the reliability and readiness of U.S. strategic forces, marked the 117th consecutive successful test launch of the Trident-2 since 1989, a record unmatched by any other large ballistic missile or space launch vehicle.
		The Trident-2 D5 has a range of 12,000 km, carries 8 to 12 multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRVs), and constitutes the mainstay of the U.S. submarine-based nuclear deterrent.

		To counter that, analysts say, China's strategy focuses on the development of an enhanced medium- and long-range missile capability equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle warheads, also known as MIRVs.
		Such technology is seen as essential to bolstering the effectiveness of China's nuclear deterrence as the Bush administration pushes ahead with deployment of missile defense shields.
		The launching of the Dong Feng-21 (DF-21), with a target range of about 1,800 kilometers, was the PLA's first successful test launch of the upgraded missile.
