Anti-Missile Shotgun
Most missile defense systems are like handguns, trying to hit a target with a single bullet. But the Pentagon has a new weapon in the works that's more like a shotgun, spraying buckshot until it knocks a missile down. A prototype of the "Multiple Kill Vehicles" system could be flying by 2007. The Arms Control Wonk has details -- and pictures, too.
Or spend billions on Missile Defense only to have someone haul in implements of war by sea and over the borders. Brilliant defense strategy.
Im proud we spend hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars on stuff that should of been invented in 1970. Wow a fragmenting warhead, this is revolutionary! Who would of thought this would increase the chance to hit an incoming missile! zzzzzzzzzzzz
