ICBM Intercontinental Ballistic missile address or missile address is Hacker programmer subculture hacker slang for one s longitude and latitude preferably to arcsecond seconds of arc accuracy when placed in a signature block signature or another publicly available file. Origin The form that used to register a site with the Usenet map ping project, before Internet connectivity became commonplace for Usenet sites, included a field for longitude and latitude , preferably to arcsecond seconds of arc accuracy. This was actually used for generating geographically correct maps of Usenet links on a plotter however, it became traditional to refer to this as one s ICBM address or missile address, and some people include it in their signature block sig block with that name but a real missile address would include target elevation Geography elevation . A typical tag might read ICBM Address 36.8274040 N, 108.0204086 W . Modern use Today, using the ICBM method of coordinates is one method of geotagging webpages or other online material. Some projects like http geourl.org GeoURL.org and http www.a2b.cc A2B parse ICBM address included in webpage s via meta tags , which can then be used to map out sites added to its database .

Unreferenced date December 2008 Heavy ICBM is a term that was created in the 1970s to describe a class of Soviet ICBM s intercontinental ballistic missiles . They were characterized by a heavy throw weight of 5 to 9 metric tons hence the word, heavy, in the name and a length of over 35 meters, and were thus capable of delivering a large number of warheads in a single MIRV missile. This term usually refers only to SS 9 and SS 18 missiles. In time these missiles became quite feared in the United States because of their ability to destroy almost all U.S. silo based ICBM s in a single strike, and because the U.S. had no comparable weapon. It was the foundation of the U.S. second missile gap, which arose in the early 1980s and was one of the main reasons for Ronald Reagan s strategic armament buildup.

File Missile Combat Crew on alert.jpg thumb right Minuteman crew at REACT console History The previous ICBM command and control system , designated Command Data Buffer , required over 20 hours to retarget the entire Minuteman force and 30 minutes to retarget a single ICBM. REACT system needs less than 10 hours to retarget all missiles, while individual missiles can be retargeted in matter of minutes. ref AAFM Newsletter, Volume 2, Number 15, June 2007, p. 8 ref REACT was previously known as the ICBM integrated Electronics Upgrade I2EU REACT incorporates secure communication link between LCC and Higher Authority SACCS to receive and configuration and targeting data without any need for manual data input.

Command Data Buffer CDB was a system used by the United States Air Force s LGM 30 Minuteman Minuteman ICBM force. CDB was a method to transfer targeting information from a Minuteman Launch control center ICBM Launch Control Center to an individual missile by communications lines. Prior to CDB, new missile guidance would have to be physically loaded at the Launch facility ICBM launch facility the process usually took hours. History The surviving remnant of the Minuteman Command Control System MICCS , CDB permitted the rapid, remote, retarging of the Minuteman III fleet. CDB was operational at all Minuteman III wings by 15 Aug 1977. Minuteman II wings had a similar install, designated Improved Launch Control System , providing the older system the potential for remote retarging. ref Department of the Air Force Strategic Air Command Weapon Systems Acquisition 1964 1979 , 28 April 1980 ref File Command Data Buffer configuration.png thumb right CDB configuration Phaseout CDB was replaced in the late 1990s by the Rapid Execution and Combat Targeting System Rapid Execution and Combat Targeting system, currently in use by United States ICBM forces. ref http www.fas.org nuke guide usa c3i react.htm FAS.org Rapid Execution and Combat Targeting ref See also Portal United States Air Force LGM 30 Minuteman Launch control center ICBM Improved Launch Control System Minuteman II upgrade similar to CDB Rapid Execution and Combat Targeting System REACT References Reflist Category Nuclear command and control Category Cold War weapons of the United States Category Nuclear weapons of the United States USAF stub ... more details

The R 46 was an intercontinental ballistic missile ICBM design by the Soviet Union during the Cold War . The R 46 concept was to launch a very large hydrogen bomb into orbit as a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System fractional orbital bombardment system FOBS . The existence of the system was alluded to in a speech by then Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1961. The design was not developed, however, and the FOBS concept was soon dropped by ICBM developers.
