For the Minuteman ICBM force, the US Air Force's Strategic Air Command worried that in times of need the codes would not be available, so they quietly decided to set them to 00000000.

PAL devices have been installed on all or nearly all nuclear devices in the US arsenal, including the Minuteman ICBM, MGM-13A Mace Tactical Ballistic Missile, CGM-13B Mace Tactical Ballistic Missile, Sergeant, Pershing, and WAC Corporal missiles as well as the Nike-Hercules, Honest John rockets, the Davy Crockett system, and artillery-launched howitzer rounds.

The first salvo of the Soviet nuclear attack on the central United States ( as shown from the point of view of the residents of Kansas and western Missouri ) occurs at 3: 38 p. m. Central Daylight Time when a large-yield nuclear weapon is air burst at a high altitude over Kansas City, Missouri, in order to generate an electromagnetic pulse and disable any defensive weapons covering the nearby Minuteman III missile silos of Whiteman AFB.

The larger Minuteman III third stage motor also has thrust termination ports although the final velocity is determined by PSRE.

In the case of Minuteman missile launch crews, both operators must agree that the launch order is valid by comparing the order's authorization code against a code from a Sealed Authenticator ( a special sealed envelope which holds a code ).

It is now used for the Minuteman Bikeway.
