NATO plans Europe-wide missile-defence system

摘要

NATO has decided to develop a missile-defence capability to provide full coverage and protection for all alliance European populations, territories and forces against the increasing threats posed by the proliferation of ballistic missiles, the heads of state and governments participating in the meeting of the North Atlantic Council in Lisbon announced on 20 November.rnThis will be done by expanding the scope of NATO's current Active Layered Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence (ALTBMD) programme's C3 capabilities.
