Dummy takes out SCUD

The missile defense concept known by the acronym THAAD has been in the works since the late 1980's. The system is just one component of a massive Pentagon effort to test and build a defensive weapons system to shield America and its allies from ballistic missile attacks. The system is being fast-tracked in the wake of North Korea's missile tests last summer. THAAD is supposed to be ready for operational deployment by 2009.
