May 13, 2004 :: News

Representative Curt Weldon said that the United States is looking at Russian radars and targets as part of the U.S. missile defense program, according to today’s edition of Aerospace Daily & Defense Report. Weldon spoke of MDA’s interest in using Russia’s “very good” expertise in constructing ballistic missile-tracking radars, access to which could help the United States improve its ability to track missile threats from China and North Korea. In addition, Weldon noted that MDA may be interested in having Russia produce targets to be used in missile defense tests, but added that Russia’s cooperation is unlikely: “I don’t think the Russians really want to be in a position of having America constantly shoot down what they put up in space.” (Article)
