obama cuts missile defence

[39mto39g]

Just when Iran and N. Korea are test firing missiles, Obama decides it's time to cut spending and selects the Missile defense program. The only program within the missile defense program that didn't get cut was the

Aegis and AN/SPY-1 and we can all thank what ever God you pray to for that.
A recent example is Lockheed Martin’s Aegis Ballistic missile-defense (BMD) weapon system, which with the AN/SPY-1 radar intercepted and destroyed two non-separating, short-range ballistic missile targets nearly simultaneously last month in Kauai, Hawaii. The test marked the first successful attempt by any U.S. ballistic missile-defense system at dual exo-atmospheric intercepts—shooting down missiles in space—says Ken Ross, spokesman for Lockheed Martin. The test also represents the Aegis BMD system’s 10th and 11th successful ballistic missile intercepts in 13 attempts.

This test destroyed the missiles in the midcourse phase. The Aegis has shot down targets in each phase of flight from ascending to descending, he adds. The reliability of the durable AN/Spy-1 radar system combined with the system’s advanced technology make it the most efficient naval surface defense system around today.

The U.S. Missile Defense Agency’s Airborne Laser defeats a target using all three of its lasers—the Tracking Illuminator Laser to track the airborne target; the Beacon Illuminator to compensate for atmospheric distortion; and the Surrogate High Energy Laser to engage the target.
