THAAD Flight Test Demonstrates Divert And Attitude Control System

"When the U.S. Missile Defense Agency's Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) weapon system released its "kill vehicle" in a successful test flight on November 22, it was a new Divert and Attitude Control System (DACS) from Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne that powered the weapon on a precise path."

With all the insanity of "talking" with Iran we really need this system UP and operational.

Oppps!
Appears to spell bad news for those Russian diverting ICBM warheads? Very cool.
