For more than ten years, the Science, Technology and Global Security Working Group has been the primary non-governmental organization analyzing the technical claims of the US Administration, the Congress, and others about the capabilities of BMD and the need for such defenses.
A central focus of our work has been the question of how effective proposed missile defense systems could be expected to be in actual use and the implications of deploying less-than-highly-effective defenses. The Science, Technology and Global Security Working Group's technical analyses and findings have provided the basis of many of the arguments used by opponents of ill-considered missile defense programs.
