👉 The Contributors Missiles, also known as the "Missile Contribution Capabilities" or "MCC," are a set of advanced missile systems developed by the United States to enhance its strategic deterrence capabilities. These missiles are designed to be modular and adaptable, allowing them to integrate various payloads such as nuclear warheads, conventional munitions, or even cyber warfare tools. Developed primarily by Lockheed Martin and other defense contractors, these missiles are part of the U.S. nuclear triad—land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and strategic bombers—but are distinct in their modular design, which facilitates rapid upgrades and customization. The Contributors Missiles are intended to provide a flexible and robust response capability, ensuring the U.S. can maintain credible deterrence against potential adversaries while adapting to evolving threats and technological advancements.
