Homeland missile defense today is provided by the Ground-based Midcourse Defense program and other elements of the larger Ballistic Missile Defense System. The limited defenses fielded today have advanced considerably since limited defensive operations began in late 2004, but nevertheless they remain too limited and too modest relative to emerging threats. The Missile Defense Agency's path to improve the system may require additional effort to stay ahead of even limited missile threats. This report explains how the current system works, as well as current and potential plans to modernize the system, and the authors offer recommendations for future evolution of the system. 610 10 $a United States. $b Missile Defense Agency. 650 0 $a Ballistic missile defenses $z United States. 650 0 $a Ballistic missile defenses $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a National security $z United States. 700 1 $a Williams, Ian $c (Political scientist), $e author. 700 1 $a Rumbaugh, Wes, $e author. 710 2 $a Center for Strategic and International Studies (Washington, D.C.), $e publisher. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802024618.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0467D120621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
