US to study counters to road-mobile ICBMs

摘要

The US Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (OUSD AT&L) held a classified Time Critical Targeting industry day at Scitor Corporation, Reston, Virginia, on 5 November, to discuss possible methods of defeating road-mobile ballistic missile threats of up to intercontinental range. "Advances in mobile ballistic missile technology and the proliferation of them poses a growing threat to US, Allied, and partner forces and territory including the homeland" said a request for information (RfI) published by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) on 29 October. "We must stay ahead of this threat, seeking to deter attacks or prevent them before they occur."
