Abstract
Of the US systems intended for the 'exoatmospheric' (ie. in space) intercept of ballistic missiles, the SM-3 interceptor deployed on US and Japanese Navy ships has had the fewest problems, but it is also the system that is most limited in range and speed. THAAD had to overcome a string of failures in the early years of development.
