HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The new Missile Defense Agency Director, Air Force Lt. Gen. Samuel Greaves, said he is confident the United States is prepared and equipped to defend the homeland against a North Korean nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile threat.
When asked directly during a presentation at the Space and Missile Defense Symposium, Greaves said, “Yes, we believe that the currently deployed ballistic missile defense system can meet today’s threat.”
But, he added, the Missile Defense Agency is addressing the evolving threat or a more complex threat that could include several ICBMs or countermeasures or decoys by “diligently” pursuing capability to “mitigate” those threats.
