National Missile Defense and Its Consequences for the ABM Treaty — •Richard L. Garwin — Council on Foreign Relations, New York, USA

In July, 2000, President Clinton is to decide whether to deploy a proposed National Missile Defense system to protect every square kilometer of U.S. territory from attack by long-range missiles from North Korea, Iran, or Iraq, with a subsidiary capability to guard against accidental or unintended launch from China or Russia. Unfortunately, the system as proposed will be ineffective against the threat, because of feasible countermeasures to the "hit-to-kill" interceptors. A better approach is a cooperative limited National Missile Defense based on Boost-Phase Intercept of North Korean ICBMs, using interceptors based in Russia south of Vladivostok, followed by responsive deployments against Iraq or Iran. This could be accommodated (together with sea-based interceptors) by an agreed Protocol to the ABM Treaty, that would permit additional deployment at jointly operated sites, at sites as may be agreed among the parties, and with interceptors of specified type on ships that could operate only in the Japan Basin off North Korea, in the Gulf of Oman, and in the Caspian sea.
