Missile Accomplishment

America has once again outshined its competitors! Yes that is right! America has completed what the U.S. Missile Defense Agency is calling the “biggest and most complex exercise”.

This “highly orchestrated event” involved all of the three departments of the United States military (department of army, department of air force, and department of navy) as missiles were launched from the sea, from the air, and from the ground.  This was officially accomplished on Wednesday over a broad area in the western part of the Pacific Ocean; only taking approximately 30 minutes and $188 million US dollars. The spoke women for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency exclaims: “It was conducted to demonstrate the ability of the Ballistic Missile Defense System to defend against a raid of five near-simultaneous threats in an operationally relevant scenario. It was the first time in a live-fire test that multiple weapon systems engaged a raid of multiple targets near-simultaneously.” During the experiment a system created by Lockheed Martin Corporation was used by the “army personnel” Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands to hunt down a medium-range target missile launched by a C-17 cargo jet. Upon reaching the target, which was launched on a floating mobile launch platform in the ocean located further to the Northeast of the Kwajalein Atoll, army personnel launched a missile blowing it to pieces triumphantly. In conjunction with this, additional soldiers were using the Patriot System, created by Raytheon Company, to detect, track, and triumphantly intercept a “short-range ballistic missile”.
Although there were many successes there was one failure, the destroyer Fitzgerald. The ship that was built by Lockheed, Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System was capable of tracking and engaging a “low-flying target cruise missile” that was flying above the surface of the ocean but was unable to find sings of the missile hitting the target. Nevertheless this is happy for the American Missile Defense Agency.
