The Theater High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) program has kept a low-profile in recent years, but managers are preparing to once again undertake a series of high-profile tests to prove the system can intercept an attacking ballistic missile. In the coming months, THAAD engineers will perform major system ground tests in the run-up to the start of flight testing next year. The upcoming flight test phase is the second for THAAD, although the last time the program launched an interceptor was in August 1999 as part of the project's risk-reduction phase. The Lockheed Martin Corp.-led program achieved successive hits in the summer of 1999, after which the Pentagon opted to move into the current development phase and build new missiles, rather than continuing to struggle with the original hardware.
