新闻：美国中段反导FTG-06拦截实验失败

Missile Defense Test Conducted

The Missile Defense Agency conducted a flight test today of the Ground-Based
Midcourse Defense System.

A target missile was successfully launched at approximately 3:40 p.m. PST
from
the U.S. Army’s Reagan Test Site at Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the
Marshall Islands.  Approximately six minutes later, a Ground-Based
Interceptor
was successfully launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.  Both the
target missile and Ground-Based Interceptor performed nominally after launch.
However, the Sea-Based X-band radar did not perform as expected.

Program officials will conduct an extensive investigation to determine the
cause of the failure to intercept.
