Anti-missile cruise

Article Abstract:

The Sea-Based X-band Radar (SBX) is likely to undergo sea trials and might make its way to the Pacific later in summer 2005. The SBX combines an advanced radar system with a mobile, ocean-going platform, which provides the Ballistic Missile Defense System with the ability to detect missiles aimed at any spot in the nation, to track, discriminate and assess incoming missile targets for the Missile Defense Agency.

Shoot to ... disable?: Nonlethal weapon offers flexibility, accuracy

The ART system consists of a 43mm round with a clamshell-like attachment having a range of 17 miles and thus provides flexibility to an existing system, as well as extended range and improved accuracy.
