Defense Tech: U.S. Navy Missile Intercept

Christain Lowe writes on Defense Tech:

The Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency tested a key leg in its missile shield triad yesterday, shooting down both a sub-sonic cruise missile in the atmosphere and a ballistic missile in space with a ship-based interceptor.

To say the least, missile defense has been extremely controversial over the years, and it is a subject of heated debate over whether the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on systems over the years have been worth the cost.

But it is worth chalking up this test in the win column for the embattled agency.
