 MDA Test Intercepts Target

24 July 2021
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Missile Defense Agency, in cooperation with the U.S. Navy, conducted Flight Test Aegis Weapon System 33 in the broad ocean area northwest of Hawaii, July 24.
 
Based on initial observations, one target was successfully intercepted. At this time, we cannot confirm the second target was destroyed.

FTM-33 was the most complex mission executed by MDA (a raid of two test targets and two SM-6 Dual II salvos consisting of four missiles).  It was the third flight test of an Aegis BMD-equipped vessel using the SM-6 Dual II missile.
