A US Navy (USN) Standard Three (SM-3) is launched from the vertical launch system (VLS) aboard the Pearl Harbor based Ticonderoga Class Guided Cruiser USS LAKE ERIE (CG 70), during a joint Defense Agency, USN ballistic missile flight test. Minutes later, the SM-3 intercepted a separating ballistic missile threat target, launched form the Pacific Range Facility, Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii. The test was the sixth intercept, in seven flight tests, by the AEGIS (Airborne Early-Warning Ground-Environmental Integration Segment) Ballistic Defense, the maritime component of the "Hit to Kill" Ballistic Defense System, being developed by the...

The Sea Based X-Band Radar (SBX) loaded onto the heavy lift vessel MV (Motor Vessel) BLUE MARLIN as the ship semi-submerges in the Gulf of Mexico. SBX will provide missile tracking, discrimination and hit assessment functions to the Ground-based Midcourse Defense element of the Ballistic Missile Defense System. It will support interceptor missiles located in Alaska (AK) and California (CA) if required to defend against a limited long-range missile attack on the United States. Home-ported in Adak, Alaska, the SBX can move throughout the Pacific Ocean in support of advanced missile defense testing and defensive operations

A reconfigured Minuteman II intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from Vandenberg AFB at 8:39 p.m. 23 June 1997. The missile, part of the Multi-Service Launch System developed by Lockheed-Martin Astronautics, deployed a payload of nine target objects in space to test sensors carried aloft by a second Minuteman II that was launched from the Kwajalein Missile Range in the south Pacific Ocean approximately 20 minutes later. It carried sensors using existing National Missile Defense technology to identify and track the nine target objects released by the Vandenberg missile. A side effect from the launch resulted in what is termed as a "twilight phenomenon," a multicolored light...
