So do multiple warheads that are clustered on top of missiles with particularly powerful lifting capability, known as "throw-weight." The details are still being honed in Washington and would be negotiable with the Soviets...
...carrying cruise missiles would yield a greater SWS total than the K factor for an identical plane carrying bombs, which are viewed as less lethal. The K factor for land-based missiles takes into account the size and number of warheads. Thus the MX missile, with ten warheads, could count as ten SWS's-but the Soviet SS-18, which also has ten warheads, would equal 20.5 SWS's, because it has larger warheads and more throw-weight...
