All three stages intercontinental ballistic missile use solid fuel propellants; Minuteman concept, management policies and technical decisions, made at beginning of program, led to successful reliability; implementation of program consisted of adapting best features of state-of-art to Minuteman requirements and adding innovations as needed; none of three subsystems failed to measure up to its operational requirements; guidance and control propulsion, airframe, re-entry vehicle, and inline operating ground equipment subsystems are meeting or exceeding operational requirements.
