OVERVIEW

� NMD And TMD Distinction No Longer Exists

� Limited Defense Against Long-range Threat And Robust Defense Against Shorter Range Threats

3ms-104058 / 062502

WITHDRAWAL FROM ABM TREATY

� Opens Missile Defense Options For Greater Effectiveness

� Improves Ability To Test More Realistically

� Makes Possible New Models For Allies And Friends To Participate In The Missile Defense Program
