The Pentagon's latest project promises unparalleled protection from aerial threats.

The Department of Defense (DOD) is pursuing the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) program to add capacity and capability to the existing Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, which defends the entire U.S. homeland against rogue state ballistic missiles. The DOD currently plans to buy 20 NGIs that will fill 20 existing empty silos in Fort Greely, Alaska, to augment the existing fleet of approximately 44 ground-based interceptors (GBIs).

Congress should examine these implications of the fiscal year 2010 missile defense cuts.
