Science, Technology and Global Security Working Group

Evaluating Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Systems, Strategies, and Consequences

For more than ten years, the Science, Technology and Global Security Working Group has been the primary non-governmental organization analyzing the technical claims of the US Administration, the Congress, and others about the capabilities of BMD and the need for such defenses.

A central focus of our work has been the question of how effective proposed missile defense systems could be expected to be in actual use and the implications of deploying less-than-highly-effective defenses. The Science, Technology and Global Security Working Group's technical analyses and findings have provided the basis of many of the arguments used by opponents of ill-considered missile defense programs.
