"Air and missile defense is one of the toughest missions facing
the US armed forces today. ...Our forward deployed forces are in
situations now that present combined anti-ship and ballistic
missile threat conditions. Serious systems engineering of new
systems to counter these threats along with the simultaneous
engineering to upgrade... are required to keep pace with the
threats. ...This volume addresses the crucial steps needed to
achieve the needed outcome to fight and win."
