US Conducts Test On Anti Missile Defense System - The Gulf Notices
The US yesterday conducted a missile test above the Pacific Ocean, the Defence Department announced.
The missile launch from the Alaskan Island Kodiak was for testing a set of radars and sensors, the Department said in a statement. The test demonstrated the most complex integration to date of radars required to support a missile intercept, the statement said. US radio Sawa reported that the missile was tracked by land-, sea- and space-based sensors, especially by a California military base.
