Abstract

Abstract : The U.S. is about to repeat history again with respect to development and or intermittent deployment of its fifth national missile defense system. While the world and national politico military strategic environment are undergoing continuous change, the relevance of the arguments against National Missile Defense deployment remain strong and will effectively delay or thwart employment of even a limited national missile defense. In short, it is deja' vu. Given the increasingly austere DoD budget and somewhat arbitrary Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty demarcation between theater and national missile defense systems (TMD and NMD), funds projected for NMD development would be better utilized in furthering increasingly capable TMD systems that ultimately become capable of NMD like missions.
