2019 Missile Defense Review

Abstract

The 2019 MDR sets the guidelines for the Department-wide effort to strengthen the defense of our homeland and the Joint Forces posture. It presents the policies, strategies, and capabilities that will guide the Departments missile defense initiatives and programs over the coming decade to enhance the protection of the American people, defend our sovereignty, and meet our international obligations and commitments to our allies and partners. We must anticipate the evolution of adversary offensive missile capabilities, and develop and field the U.S. missile defenses that fit the needs of this era.
