Details

Since President Ronald Reagan launched the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1983, the United States has continuously explored advanced technologies to defend itself against the threat of long-range ballistic missiles. Today, the United States deploys a limited ballistic missile defense (BMD) system that provides a thin shield against missile attacks from states like North Korea and Iran. As these countries improve their missile arsenals, however, many conclude that the existing U.S. BMD architecture is no longer adequate for the mission. Join Ian Williams from the Washington D.C.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) to learn more about the state of the U.S BMD system and its role in U.S. defense strategy.
