U.S. Missile Defense Engineers Score a Hit in a Missile Test
Wednesday, January 30, 2002

Brit Hume

And now the most absorbing two minutes in television, the latest from the wartime grapevine.

It fell to a little-known Web site to report it first, but it appears that U.S. missile defense engineers have scored a hit in a test in which actually
hitting a target was not even expected. Aviationnow.com says that missile defense agency engineers last Friday were testing a piece of navigation
and control equipment. They took aim at a test target missile that was fired from a missile range facility on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai. The
engineers fired their anti-missile missile from the USS Lake Erie, a ballistic missile test ship, not expecting to actually hit the target, but they hit it
anyway, to their surprise.
