12. Let me repeat and emphasise that all these actions can hardly be called unique; rather, it is the reason for them that is surprising.

4. No doubts that w/o dramatic political changes Sentinel will be successfully developed, tested and fielded. However there will be another problem: the US solid rocket motor production continues to experience series challenges in the US. Maybe startups or allies will help?

3. Sentinel might eventually include a lot of technologies developed and tested for other missiles, especially the MX, as well as Trident-II or even Dark Eagle.

2. Given the new silos demand there might be alternatives:
a) develop road-mobile version
b) keep both old silos w/ MM-III and build new silos w/ Sentinel, increasing the total deployed numbers
c) cut off the land-based leg of the triad

Some LGM-35A theories/questions.
1. There might be different priorities in terms of payload development given the almost forgotten increased throw weight.
a) Single traditional RV with enhanced BMD penetration aids
b) MIRV
c) MaRV/HGV
d) penetrators for hardened targets
e) SOUTH POLE/FOBS

"MdCN Ashore", or rather LCM launcher mockup demonstrated at the Paris Air Show.
Fouvre MLRS/TBM system also planned to have capability to fire longer-range missiles.
No matter what happens with ELSA, the French will likely deploy INF-range ground-launched weapons anyway.
