"Military Satellites Achieve 'Holy Grail' of Missile Defense"
Unless I'm mistaken, this is a precursor to Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative known as "Star Wars"...
It was recently reported at Space.com:
"So-called birth-to-death tracking of a ballistic missile launch had never been done before from space and is the most significant achievement to date for the Space Tracking and Surveillance System (STSS) spacecraft, said Doug Young, Northrop Grumman’s vice president of missile defense and warning programs.
'It’s the Holy Grail for missile defense,' Young said during a media briefing here."
