- Missile Defense: Assessment of DOD’s Reports on Status of Efforts and Options for Improving Homeland Missile Defense, GAO-16-254R: Published: Feb 17, 2016. Publicly Released: Feb 17, 2016: “Although DOD’s reports described the benefits of the Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA) ongoing efforts to improve homeland missile defense, GAO found that MDA faces risks and challenges pursuing these efforts. For example, DOD’s reports stated that MDA has fielded additional homeland missile defense assets, including Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) interceptors, and is capable of defending the U.S. homeland from a limited ballistic missile attack from North Korea or Iran. However, a 2015 assessment conducted by DOD’s Director, Operational Test and Evaluation determined that although GMD has demonstrated a partial capability against small numbers of simple ballistic missile threats launched from North Korea and Iran, GMD flight testing, to date, was insufficient to demonstrate that an operationally useful defense capability exists.”
