Who told you this?  At Livermore they are working on an advanced
MARV system for the MX.  I forget what the MK number is, I think
its referred to as the MK21.  What you are talking about is MRV's.
They are not independently targetable, but a MARV means 'MAneuvering
(independently targetable) Reentry Vehicle.  Its the latest thing
in warhead design.  The object is to make the RV hard to hit
when its coming in so as to try an mitigate the effect of an ABM
system.
