The U.S. Missile Defense Agency has achieved a major milestone by successfully intercepting an air-launched ballistic missile near Guam, showcasing advancements in integrated air and missile defense capabilities.
The U.S. Missile Defense Agency successfully intercepted an air-launched intermediate-range ballistic missile target near Guam during the Flight Experiment Mission-02 (FEM-02). This test marks a significant milestone in Guam's defense capabilities and reinforces the Pentagon's commitment to protecting the U.S. territory. The Aegis Guam System, integrated with the AN/TPY-6 radar and Vertical Launching System, used a Standard Missile-3 Block IIA (produced by RTX Corp) to achieve the intercept. MDA Director Lt. Gen. Heath Collins highlighted the test's importance in validating joint tracking architecture and integrated air and missile defense capabilities. The experiment is part of efforts to develop the Guam Defense System (GDS) for enhanced protection, with data from the test contributing to future refinements.
