U.S. must boost missile defense investment to counter rising global threats

"North Korea, led by Kim Jong Un, has a nuclear weapons program and has intercontinental ballistic missiles that can reach the continental United States," explained, the senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the nonpartisan Foundation for Defense of Democracies. "Iran for its part has the largest ballistic arsenal in the Middle East."

The very same drones that have been used to attack U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria and that Iran, for the first time, directly attacked Israel from Iran proper, launching almost 350 missiles and drones at Israel. So this is not a country that fields weapons for the fun of it, or so. They look fancy and brave. They use these things.estimates the 10-year costs of the Department of Defense's Missile plans would be about $176 billion from 2020 to 2029.

The space domain is intrinsically linked to missile defense in terms of missile warning, missile tracking detection in the scenario of significant technological growth ahead. He further noted the need to balance investments in exquisite technologies with investments in lower-cost, scalable solutions to defeat the range of threats.
