MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- Airman Kyle Andrews, 91st Missile Maintenance Squadron, lowers a missile guidance set off a payload transporter as other team members steady the load. The last NS-20 missile guidance set was removed and replaced by a newer guidance replacement program (GRP) NS-50 MGS Dec. 4. The GRP primary modification provides the warfighter updated guidance electronics without degrading Minuteman III accuracy. This upgrade replaced the guidance computer and software, while reusing the existing gyro stabilized platform. The upgrades are part of a program to extend the viability of the Minuteman III missiles to 2030. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Joe Rivera)
