A nuclear warhead platform is a weapons delivery device that orbits a planet. On Earth in the late 20th century, the United States planned to launch its own orbital warhead in response to other world powers that had already deployed similar platforms. According to Enterprise Science officer Spock, "the sky was full of orbiting H-bombs," in the late 1960s. Captain Kirk understood these to be one of Earth's greatest problems during that era.

This opinion was shared by the unidentified race that sent Gary Seven to Earth in 1968. It was their plan to cause the the warhead to malfunction and detonate approximately 100 miles above the planet's surface in order to frighten the Earth's governments away from using such weapons. Seven commented that planet Omicron IV nearly destroyed itself over similar "nonsense."
