HUNTSVILLE, AL -- While both the target and interceptor missiles were successfully launched this afternoon during a test of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system, there was not an intercept, according to a statement from the Missile Defense Agency.

The target missile lifted off about 3:40 p.m. Pacific Standard Time from the Army's Ronald Reagan Test Site at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. About six minutes later, a Ground-Based Interceptor was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California to find, hit and destroy the target.

The MDA said both missiles "performed nominally after launch. However, the Sea-Based X-band radar did not perform as expected.

"Program officials will conduct an extensive investigation to determine the cause of the failure to intercept."
