MIMS 13 and 14 interface with which missiles?

• A. Missiles 2 and 6
• B. Missiles 4 and 8
• C. Missiles 1 and 7
• D. Missiles 3 and 5

Answer: (B)

Understanding how the Missile Interface Management Modules connect to the interceptors is essential. In a THAAD launcher, each missile has a dedicated interface path through the MIMS that carries arming, flight data, status, and fire-command signals between the launcher control system and the interceptor. The design uses fixed mappings, and in this configuration the modules numbered thirteen and fourteen are wired specifically to missiles four and eight. This precise pairing ensures the correct missile receives the firing signal and can report its readiness and any faults back to the control system. The other possible pairings would require a different wiring map that isn’t used here, so they don’t fit with how the system is actually wired.
