Develop and Deploy Aegis BMD (NSPD 23 December 17, 2002)
1st Aegis BM Intercept (2001)
Focus on • MRBM/ICBM BMD Intercepts • Integrated Fire Control (Cruise
Missile Defense) • BMD/CMD Raid Capacity
• New effecter Technologies • Complex countermeasures
Focus on • Endo & Exo-Atmospheric
BMD Intercepts • IRBMs and Below
Focus on • High Altitude Bombers • High Maneuvering Threats • Low/Very Low Altitude
