Book excerpt: The Special Report on Defending the Homeland - The Role of Missile Defense is based on the proceedings of a June 25, 2013 Capitol Hill Briefing in Washington, D.C. sponsored by the Independent Working Group (IWG) on Missile Defense and the Space Relationship and organized by the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis (IFPA). The focus of the Special Report is the role that missile defense can play in U.S. homeland security. Specific topics include the emerging requirements for the Aegis sea-based missile defense program including Aegis Ashore, the potential to build a third missile defense site on the east coast, the options for space-based missile defense, homeland security threats including electromagnetic pulse (EMP) as part of cyber and information warfare operations, and defense budget issues affecting missile defense programs and priorities. The Report also sets forth several recommendations for missile defense as a key component of homeland security. Participants at the Capitol Hill Briefing included House and Senate staff members, U.S. government civilian and military officials, industry representatives, subject matter experts, and members of the IWG.
