The W78 is an American thermonuclear warhead with an estimated yield of 335–350 kilotonnes of TNT (1,400–1,460 TJ), deployed on the LGM-30G Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and housed in the Mark 12A reentry vehicle.

Interstate 78 (I-78) is an east–west Interstate Highway in the Northeastern United States that runs 144 miles (232 km) from I-81 northeast of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, through Allentown to western and North Jersey, terminating at the Holland Tunnel entrance to Lower Manhattan in …

Sep 1, 2001 · The W-78 is the warhead used with the Mk 12A reentry vehicle which arms a portion of the Minuteman III ICBM force. Designed for use on MIRV (multiple independently targeted reentry vehicle) bus upper stage.

In 1963 production for the W56 warhead began. This warhead was manufactured by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and were built in a series of models consisting of 4 variants. Each model had a yield of 1.2 MT. They all were of basically the same size, 17.4 inches in diameter and 47.3 inches long. Models 1 through 3 each weighed 600 pounds.

The W78 thermonuclear warhead is the warhead used on most of the United States LGM-30G Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), along with the MK-12A reentry vehicle which carried the warhead.

Mar 9, 2011 · The W-87 uses insensitive high explosive (IHE) to initiate the nuclear explosion; the W-78 uses regular high explosive, making it more susceptible to accidents that could lead to widespread plutonium dispersal. The W-87 also has more modern safety, security and use-control features than the W-78.

Replacing the conventional high explosives (CHE) in the current W78 warhead with IHE is the single most significant weapon system change that improves the warhead’s safety and security. Using IHE also enables a broader range of solutions to improve use control and facilitates production efficiencies.

The W78 is an American thermonuclear warhead with an estimated yield of 335–350 kilotonnes of TNT (1,400–1,460 TJ), deployed on the LGM-30G Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and housed in the Mark 12A reentry vehicle.

In July 2010, NNSA designated Lawrence Livermore the lead nuclear design laboratory to conduct an LEP on the Los Alamos–designed W78 warhead, with Sandia, California, responsible for. the warhead’s nonnuclear components. The announcement was made in a letter from Don Cook, deputy administrator for NNSA’s Defense Programs.
