Best Answer

The W54 nuclear warhead used in the Davy Crocket, AIM-26 Falcon air-to-air missile and the SADM atomic demolition munition was a variable yield, linear implosion warhead most likely with an unreflected bare ovoid pit.

It boasted a variable yield of 0.01 kilotons (10 tons of TNT) or a variable yield variant of between 0.02 kilotons-1 kiloton. (20 tons of TNT - 1000 tons of TNT)

The cost to develop this weapon is not that easy to find, but many estimates and research have shown a price of anywhere from 14 - 40 million per weapon, not including the delivery system.

What is the size of a typical nuclear warhead on an ICBM?

Remember that most modern weapons are dial-a-yield weapons, which means the warhead can be boosted anywhere from a minimum to a maximum yield. This all depends on the ICBM delivery vehicle, the specific warhead, the country of origin and the yield set on each warhead. I'd say anywhere from 150 kilotons to 450 kilotons or so per warhead, depending.
