Here is a cool video of the Aegis BMD in action. From You Tube, the description is:
First successful simultaneous engagement of a short range ballistic missile (SRBM) and a anti-air warfare (AAW) target by the Aegis BMD 3.6 Weapon
System. USS Lake Erie launched and guided a Standard Missile-3 (SM-3)Blk IA missile to a successful intercept of a SRBM and a SM-2 Blk IIIA to the
intercept of a low-altitude cruise missile. Approved for release 26 Apr 2007.
Edit: Whoops, just realized that this video is probably not from the test yesterday... Being that it is about a month old. But, here is a link to
the story anyways:
