Theater Missile Defense: Issues for the 104th Congress

Abstract

In this brief, Steven A. Hildreth addresses issues facing the 104th Congress as theater missile defense (TMD) becomes an increasingly important national defense priority. Major concerns include the relative importance of TMD systems as one element of the USOs efforts to deal with proliferation, the role of TMD in overall global missile defense, the affordability of Pentagon-proposed plans for TMD in the 1990s, and the salience of the ABM Treaty as advanced TMD development proceeds.
