Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Air Force are advancing the Sentinel program, a next-generation intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system designed to replace the aging ground-based leg of the nuclear triad. The program is on track for its first flight test in 2027 and aims for initial operational capability in the early 2030s. Using a revised acquisition approach, the project emphasizes speed and incremental development, enabling earlier testing and faster deployment while maintaining high performance standards.
