Miller on the Next Steps for Missile Defense

May 24, 2004 :: National Review Online :: Analysis

John Miller of NRO takes note of the recent debate which is sure to continue after the first missile deployment takes place later this year. The debate concerns nothing less than the future of missile defense. Miller rightly favors a space-based approach to any attempt at boost-phase interception, calling for a revival of Brilliant Pebbles over the costly and unlikely Kinetic Energy Interceptor.
        Miller quotes Senator Kyl of Arizona as repudiating the notion that defensive systems in space somehow represent a fresh weaponization of that arena: “The notion that defensive space-based interceptors will somehow weaponize space is intellectually dishonest…And we shouldn’t be using the phrase ‘weapons in space.’ Space is already used by militaries and of offensive missile in space is no less using space than its defensive interceptor.”  (Article)
