Intercontinental Ballistic Missile

Kim Jong Un continued to consolidate his power through personnel changes, and North Korean society saw increasing consumerism, along with signs of growing inequality. The economy did well through early 2017 but the subsequent effects of sanctions remained uncertain. North Korea conducted its first test of an intercontinental ballistic missile and its sixth nuclear test, triggering heated debate in the US and elsewhere about how to respond. Kim clearly is not going to give up working on weapons of mass destruction.

Over the course of his career, Adm. Arleigh Burke developed the qualities and attributes of a leader of technologically innovative leadership. An examination of his professional life reveals three characteristics of such leaders, such as delegating sufficient authority and responsibility to technological experts and securing for them the necessary resources; avoiding the seduction of pure theory to maintain a focus on practical objectives; and recognizing that no technological innovation is of such significance that one can ignore alternatives. The culmination of Burke's innovative leadership came with the deployment in 1960 of the U.S. Navy's first submarine launched ballistic missile, the Polaris.
