A high-powered versatile liquid-propellant deployment system, used in the missile, enabled full assembly of the missile at the factory, which simplified operations at military sites and improved operational reliability and safety.

A control system, based on efficient new-generation digital computer complexes (onboard and ground) and high-precision command instrumentation continuously operating during combat duty, utilized highly hardened circuitry.

A new thermal control system maintained required temperature for continuously operating instruments.

33 launches in all were conducted, 97.4% of them successful.
