U.S. Antimissile Test Successful, Witness Reports By REUTERS WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military shot down a target ballistic missile over the Pacific Friday in the widest test of its emerging antimissile shield in 18 months, a witness to the test told Reuters. "We've got an intercept," said Riki Ellision, president of the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, a booster group close to missile-defense contractors and the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency. A Pentagon spokeswoman, Cheryl Irwin, said she would report the results of the $85 million test shortly. Officially, the test was designed to collet data rather than shoot down the target. Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) is prime contractor for the ground-based mid-course defense. Major subcontractors include Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:LMT) , Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:NOC) and Raytheon Co. (NYSE:RTN)
