Miller on Ground-Based System Test

March 15, 2002 :: National Review Online :: Analysis

Miller speculates on the likely reaction to the upcoming GBI test by missile defense detractors:
        “The enemies of missile defense no doubt have prepared two separate sets of talking points for this evening’s result. If the intercept fails, they will crow about how missile defense can’t possibly be made to work. If it succeeds, they will say the test was too easy.
        “In reality, tonight’s experiment is the most complicated one the Pentagon has yet conducted. Not only will the interceptor have to hit a target traveling at head-spinning speed in outer space, it will also have to distinguish its target from three balloon decoys trying to throw off its sensors. In previous tests, the interceptor has faced only a single decoy.”
