Jim, Thanks for the Kudos! I think MIRV stands for" Multi Integrated Reentry Vehicle". The intercontinental ballistic missile that carries X number of warheads each with a pre programmed targets, i.e., several cities or military sites. Designed to evade defensive weapons that would otherwise knock out a single delivery system. Also able to take out a number of targets or assure complete destruction of one major target i.e., a large city. Could be wrong on the acronym though, MIRVSystems ?? So far I can't seem to get away from death and destruction, must be the mood I'm in <g> jim
