MIRV
MIRV (Multiple Independently targetable Reentry Vehicle, ungefär "multipla återinträdesfarkoster med oberoende målsökning") är en samling stridsspetsar som bärs av en enda interkontinental ballistisk robot, antingen landbaserade ("ICBM") eller ubåtsbaserade ballistiska robotar ("SLBM").
MIRV utvecklades för och är vanligen förknippat med strategiska kärnvapen, men systemet kan använda vilken form av stridsspets som helst.

LGM-118A Peacekeeper missile system being tested at the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. This is a long exposure photo showing the paths of the multiple re-entry vehicles deployed by the missile. One Peacekeeper can hold up to 10 nuclear warheads, each independently assigned a target. Were the warheads armed with a nuclear payload, each would carry with it the explosive power of twenty-five Hiroshima-sized weapons which is equivalent to around 400 kilotons of TNT.
