The trial was described by Vice Admiral James D. Syring , director of the Agency Missile Defense (MDA) as a "major milestone" for the program that demonstrated "credible deterrence capable and" against real threats.
The military said the nature of the trial coincided with "the kind of threats we hope to counteract this [antibalístico] system."
In the trial the entire set of antiballistic US measures included, explains Ryan Pickerell an article published in The National Interest.
Satellites and launch detectors located and identified the missile, maritime radar provided the high resolution images and the missile interceptor warhead struck the victoriously.
"The trial was a success at all levels. But maybe it was quite far from what could be a 'real' nuclear attack," he said Melissa Hanham weapons expert cited in the article.

In fact, the launch site was known, knew when he would be released and which path the missile would follow, although the same MDA stressed that data collected in real time by monitoring equipment is only used.
"[In the event of a real attack] North Korea would have thrown everything he had, and not just a missile.
And we are talking about Russia or China , and l test is not representative at all since both have many intercontinental ballistic missiles with separable warheads and false targets that have targeted against various regions of the country while " deepened the analyst.
Already in 2016, recalls Pickerell, this view was shared by the Office of Testing and Estimating Operation USA, which reported actual system capabilities:
"anti - missile system demonstrates a limited ability to protect US territory against a small number of basic design ballistic missiles launched from North Korea or Iran ."
Thus, according Hanham, the success of the recent tests is just 'one step ahead' on the road to improve US missile defense.
In 2018, the Pentagon expects further tests, more like a hypothetical attack.
Also, the company Boeing received a contract worth 59 million dollars to develop missile-interceptor capable of hitting multiple warheads.
The first results of this project are to demonstrate before 2025. Meanwhile, the US commitment to its current, "unreliable" in the words of the aforementioned report of the Office of Testing antiballistic system, concludes the author.
