'''Circular error probable''' ('''CEP''') is a measure of a [[ballistic missile|ballistic missile's]] accuracy. CEP is the radius at which a missile has a 50% chance of hitting. For example, the [[Minute Man III]] missile has a CEP of 200 to 250 [[meters]]. This means that if you draw a circle of radius 200-250m, you will be able to hit it with a warhead from a Minute Man III missile 50% of the time.
