===Air-Launched ICBM===
{{Main|Air-launched ballistic missile}}
'''Air-Launched ICBM''' was a [[STRAT-X]] proposal in which SAMSO (Space & Missile Systems Organization) successfully conducted an Air Mobile Feasibility Test that [[airdrop]]ped a Minuteman 1b from a [[C-5 Galaxy|C-5A Galaxy]] aircraft from {{Convert|20000|ft|abbr=on}} over the [[Pacific Ocean]]. The missile fired at {{Convert|8000|ft|abbr=on}}, and the 10-second engine burn carried the missile to 20,000 feet again before it dropped into the ocean. Operational deployment was discarded due to engineering and security difficulties, and the capability was a negotiating point in the [[Strategic Arms Limitation Talks]].<ref>Marti and Sarigul-Klijn, A Study of Air Launch Methods for RLVs.
