Researchers from the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) asked two physicists who are experts in missile defense issues, Dr. Before exploring their reactions and insights, it is useful to identify salient elements of U.S. missile defense and place the issue in context. The EPAA uses ground-based and mobile ship-borne radars; the interceptors themselves are mounted on Ticonderoga class cruisers and Arleigh Burke class destroyers. With this background in mind, FAS’ Senior Fellow on State and Non-State Threat, Charles P.

The Senate today approved the fiscal 2011 National Defense Authorization Act by unanimous consent, removing a provision that would have provided reparations to war survivors in Guam. The bill now goes back to the House for final approval. Interestingly, no single Senator took the time to demand the reading of the new, over 900 page, bill, nor complain about a lack of time for debate, and neither Kyl nor DeMint complained that the bill was “jammed” through so close to Christmas. The stripped down defense authorization came after House and Senate Democrats agreed to remove “controversial” elements, such as “don’t ask don’t tell” and a provision that would have allowed privately funded abortions in military hospitals.
But even without those controversial provisions, the measure packs a punch. The bill provides for $725 billion in defense spending, well over the President’s $708 billion request, including $158.7 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
