US conducts 1st successful test of defenses against ICBM
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. May 31, 2017, 9:27 AM (IDT)
The US on Wednesday morning successfully conducted the first test of its defenses against a simulated ICBM. A target fired from the Marshall Islands in the Pacific was destroyed while still in space by an interceptor fired from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
The test was intended to demonstrate how the ground-based midcourse defense (GMD) system can identify an enemy ICBM and shoot it down before it re-enters the atmosphere. The system consists of sensors around the world including at sea and in space.
Development of GMD began in the 1980s during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. Detractors nicknamed it “Star Wars”, claiming the system would never work.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
