Anyone have or want to create a BMD (ballistic missile defense) ping list? I'd like to be on it.
In the most recent known test, the Navy hit an inert warhead outside the atmosphere and during descent. That and the land based program are doing really well, given enough production.

The system is layered, with some layers mostly posted. Several other countries are participating and posting lower level missile defense layers (much recent public news on that).
Also, development is ongoing for quicker offensive systems. There are yet other defensive systems in development that are apparently class'd. Notice, also, that the FAS site hasn't been appreciably updating aircraft publications for quite some time. ...same with other sites like that.
