Defense Tester: Limited Defense Exists

January 19, 2005 :: Bloomberg :: News

The Pentagon’s chief weapons tester, Thomas Christie, has submitted a report to Congress which declares that a limited capability exists to defend against ballistic missile attacks. Christie is the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation. “The architecture is now in place and should have some limited capability to defend against a threat missile from North Korea,” Christie is quoted as saying. While much testing remains to be done, his report indicated that some ground testing has “improved our confidence that military operators could exploit any inherent capability that may exist in the testbed, if needed in an emergency.”
        The text of Christie’s report is available via Inside Defense(Article)
