I look upon theater ballistic missile defense (TBMD) from an operational perspective--and as an observer of emerging technology with an eye to integrating current and future Air Force capabilities to assist joint force commanders (JFCs). As such, I view TBMD from a pragmatic, joint perspective. Ballistic missiles continue to spread around the globe. More than 15 countries possess operational missiles and others have programs to acquire them. This development, and the spread of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), is cause for grave concern and determined action. While we are hopeful that the missile technology control regime and state-to-state negotiations will help constrain ballistic missile proliferation, we must prepare to defend against ballistic and cruise missile attacks in future conflicts.
