@gilesgoat Since the missile (and warhead) are crashing down at Mach 23 from hundreds of miles up, I don't think there would be anything left to recover.
For missile tests, they presumably have a self-destruct mechanism (same as rocket launches) so the Range Safety Officer can blow up the missile for safety if it goes off course.
