Further if we are sending this weapon system from the other side of the planet to take out a nuke facility to prevent that rogue regime from giving nuclear weapons to their proxy terrorists, then we must eliminate the threat well ahead of final development of the WMD.
But we cannot know without a very close high-definition camera at exactly the right angle. The secondary to tertiary offshoots would have camera probes. After 5-6 of these massive weapons hit the target we could have a hole the size of a soccer stadium which could penetrate 8,000 feet of solid rock. Indeed, I hope you will please consider this as our Military Think Tank division of the Online Think Tank has been figuring out all the logistics on this. In the future the US military may need to send autonomous ICBM missiles to targets half way around the world, especially if we are to get to an underground base where a rogue nation is making nuclear weapons to give to terrorists. By sending in many such ICBMs we can insure a completed autonomous mission within an hour of first launch from our bases, safe in the continental US - even if the target (nuclear weapons facility is 2500-4500 feet below the ground or more). If you have any more suggestions, we'd like to hear of them.
The probe will be protected re-entering the Earth's atmosphere because it will ride down on the shockwave from the main weapon, where it is safe from burning up.
Why? Well, even using a B-53 warhead on a large multi-stage ICBM platform we have to know if we hit the target and it has been obliterated. Therefore, I propose an advanced weapon system to which separated upon re-entry from the actual warhead.
