missile (ABM) system that is capable of providing effective defense of
the U.S. homeland against limited attacks of ballistic missiles,
including accidental, unauthorized launches or deliberate attacks;

initial BMD systems--such as space-based defenses and their associated
sensors that could provide an overlay to ground-based interceptors; and
