This missile has new features previous SLBM's did not have. One of which is the ability to change it's target mid-flight. The 2nd and 3rd stages have maneuvering nozzles to change its ballistic trajectory. This gives the missile anti-missile defense avoidance. The first stage has a rapid fuel burn for maximum acceleration designed to avoid ballistic missile defenses like THAAD. These upgrades are the primary cause for the nearly 40% missile failure.
