The Long Road to Missile Defense
• No one realizes the need to deal with all missiles, all
phases of flight better than Israel
• It will take a long time…..
• It will take a lot of money…..
• Many legacy systems can offer near term help.....
• The enemy will change behavior
• And the Enemy will adapt……and we must also!
