Raytheon Standard Missile-3 Intercepts Target in Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System Test

Seems we have a viable ship-based exoatmospheric ABM system to defend against the crazies in North Korea and elsewhere. That's good news. The cruiser Lake Erie fired the missile.

The Japanese believe it's effective also.

"Japan has made the decision to procure Aegis BMD with SM-3 for its Kongo class ships."

Many years ago I was involved with the ABM system at Kwajelein.
