Sentinel
Leadership from the U.S. Air Force, Northrop Grumman, and industry partner Bechtel break ground for the LGM-35A Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile launch silo prototype in Promontory, Utah. This event marks a critical milestone in modernizing the land-based leg of the nation’s nuclear triad, moving the program from digital design to physical construction. The full-scale prototype will be used to validate a modular, repeatable construction approach designed to accelerate fielding, reduce costs, and gather crucial data before the full-rate production of 450 new silos to replace the legacy Minuteman III system.
