Developing a Clear Path for Homeland Missile Defense

The U.S. homeland missile defense program has a history of changes, cancellations, and downsizing evolving from a bold plan to defend against any nuclear missile to today’s modest program able to defend against a limited North Korean attack. Our current, deficient system has resulted not only from technological and programmatic difficulties but also from national missile defense policies that have vacillated from bold to feeble. Today, programmatic challenges continue to leave the future of homeland missile defense uncertain.

Congress Must Expand the Nation s Limited Defensive Capability Against Ballistic Missiles

In March 9 testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee,Lieutenant General Henry A. Obering, the Director of the MissileDefense Agency, stated that his agency made history in 2004 byestablishing a "limited defensive capability" for protecting theUnited States against ballistic missile attack. Congress, as itundertakes the task of drafting the fiscal year (FY) 2007 DefenseAuthorization bill, must recognize that this defense is very thinand needs to be strengthened. It can do so by making severalsignificant changes in the missile defense budget, such as addingfunds to accelerate the concurrent testing and operation programfor the long-range missile defense interceptors in Alaska andCalifornia and to improve and expand the sea-based interceptors onthe Navy's AEGIS ships. Looking to the future, Congress shoulddirect the Agency to start serious work on placing missile defenseinterceptors in space.

Allies Should Confront Imminent North Korean Nuclear Threat

Experts predominantly assess that North Korea has developed several nuclear devices, but not yet mastered the ability to miniaturize a warhead or deliver it via missile. Media reports habitually declare that North Korean missiles cannot yet reach the United States. Based on this benign conclusion, policymakers presume the United States and its allies still have several years to diplomatically constrain North Korea’s nuclear program, timidly pursue incremental sanctions, and prepare military defenses. This has led to U.S. policy complacency toward the North Korean threat.
