Finally after years of development the EAW-88 Ground Based Interceptor (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57012) missile has been deployed.
The Air Force 1st and 2nd Missile Defence Battalions have now been stood up to alert status with each battallion controlling sixteen missiles each. The locations of these silos are obviously classified however.
This EAW-88GBI and its associated integrated defence networks: The Ballisitc Alert/Threat Management System (BATMAN) and the much larger Strategic Alert, Response, Control and Assesment Management Centre (SARCASM) which also controls nuclear detterent forces, provide a defence against most types of ballisitc missiles with aapproximatley 30-35% accuracy.
Approximately 14 more battallions will be activated in the coming months
