This simulation depicts Lockheed Martin's offering for the US Navy's competition of the next generation naval radar system, Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR), which will defeat growing anti-ship and ballistic missile threats. Lockheed Martin is currently in the technology demonstration phase of the competition. Теги:Missile DefenseRadarLockheedLockheed MartinAMDRAir and Missile Defense
US Missile Defense Agency video of the 2 December 2008 free-flight hover test of Lockheed Martin's Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV-L). The MKV is designed to allow a single interceptor to destroy a ballistic missile equipped with multiple warheads or countermeasures. In Lockheed's design, a seeker-equipped carrier vehicle maneuvers into the path of the ballistic missile then dispenses and guides small kill vehicles to their targets. In its first test, the MKV-L hovered for 20 seconds in a special facility at Edwards AFB, California, while recognizing and tracking a simulated target.

Via Wired.com: "A key congressional panel is demanding that the Pentagon start work on a missile defense battery on America's East Coast, all to make sure an Iranian missile doesn't wipe out New York, Philly or DC in the next three years. But Tehran's longest-range missile can't come anywhere near American shores. And the Defense Department already has a plan in motion to launch missile interceptors from Europe, just in case Iran somehow makes a giant technological leap in the near future. In its markup of next year's Pentagon budget, the House Armed Services Committee's Strategic Forces panel inserted a provision that "require[s] the Director, Missile Defense Agency to develop a plan for the deployment of an East Coast site to be operational not later than the end of 2015." And to encourage the Missile Defense Agency to get started, the subcommittee authorized an extra $100 million...".* Ana Kasparian and Ben Mankiewicz discuss on The Young Turks.

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and US Navy Sailors aboard the USS LAKE ERIE (CG 70) successfully conducted a flight test of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system, resulting in the first intercept of a short-range ballistic missile target over the Pacific Ocean by the Navy's newest Missile Defense interceptor, the Standard Missile -- 3 (SM-3) Block 1B.

in.reuters.com -------------------- Iran tests new radar as war games continue --------------- Iran has tested a new radar system, a military commander said on Wednesday, as part of a show of strength it hopes will warn Israel and the United States against any attack. On day three of a 10-day military exercise, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace division, said the new radar system, called Ghadir, was used for the first time. "The Ghadir radar has been designed and built to detect airborne targets, radar-evading planes, cruise and ballistic missiles and low-orbit satellites," he was quoted as saying by the student news agency ISNA. The radar has a range of 1100 km (680 miles) and a height of 300 km (190 miles), he said. As part of the "Great Prophet 6" exercise, Iran test-fired surface-to-surface missiles on Tuesday, with a maximum range of 2000 km (1250 miles), emphasising it could hit Israel or US targets in the region in the event of attack. The United States and Israel have said they do not rule out military strikes on Iran if diplomatic means fail to stop it developing nuclear weapons. Tehran says its uranium enrichment programme is geared to producing electricity, not atom bombs.
