The Obama administration is pursuing a missile defense plan based on a system with questionable test records. The New York Times reported [2] on a technical critique of the SM-3 interceptor by Dr. Ted Postol of MIT and Dr. George Lewis of Cornell University recently published in Arms Control Today [3].
Dr. Postol is a Ploughshares Grantee. Arms Control Today is the monthly periodical from the Ploughshares funded Arms Control Association [4].
See "A Flawed and Dangerous U.S. Missile Defense Plan [5]" in the May issue of Arms Control Today.
