US Tests Missile Defense System

Description

A United States-built missile defense system successfully intercepted its target during a test run Tuesday, the US Missile Defense Agency said in a news release. The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense or "THAAD" missile defense system successfully shot down a target over Alaska, according to the MDA. "This test further demonstrates the capabilities of the THAAD weapon system and its ability to intercept and destroy ballistic missile threats." THAAD is designed to shoot down short, medium and intermediate ballistic missiles with shorter ranges than the ICBM that North Korea launched July 4.
