Thanks Rudolfo,

“Program officials will conduct an extensive review to determine the cause or causes of any anomalies which may have prevented a successful intercept.”

"Anomalies"? Hope they can trace the source of the microcircuits used in the guidance system, as you may remember the SASC meetings reported:

"... how the U.S. Missile Defense Agency learned that mission computers for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missiles contained suspect counterfeit devices that could have led to an entire system failure..."

The full Senate report is available through Sen. Levin's website at:

nice find, rudolfo. Anticipating the findings of the failure. Extremely old technology being used there, so it must be component related.
