The Increasing Ballistic Missile Threat

• Increasing SRBM/MRBM force levels, more accurate and capable

• North Korea

- New IRBM in development

– Commitment to long-range missile technology

- Taepo Dong-2 launch in 2012 placed satellite on orbit

- Unveiled the new road-mobile KN08 ICBM

– Taken initial steps towards fielding

National Priorities for BMDS

• Strengthen Homeland Defense

- Deploy 14 additional Ground Based Interceptors at Fort Greely, Alaska by 2017

- Deploy an additional AN/TPY-2 Radar in Japan

- Pursue Discrimination Improvements for Homeland Defense including

– Develop and deploy a Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR)

– Near-term and mid-term discrimination initiatives

- Redesign the GBI EKV to improve reliability

- Conduct Environmental Impact Statement for a potential additional GBI site in the U.S.

- Pursue Science & Technology efforts to keep pace with threat

• Maintain Regional Defense Commitments

- Continue with deployment of Phases II & III of the European Phased Adaptive Approach

- Continue procurement of SM-3 Block IB missiles and THAAD interceptors

• Build Partner Capacity

- Execute current FMS case

- Develop future FMS opportunities

- Support integration of regional Allied capabilities
