Missile Defense: Toward a New Paradigm

This paper draws from Russian, North American and European experts collaborating as members of the Euro-Atlantic Security Initiative. It provides a basic concept for a cooperative NATO-Russian missile defense system, describes the principles that should underlie it, and lays out an architecture that gives practical expression to the concept. The architectural design was jointly created by a former director of the U.S. Department of Defense's Missile Defense Agency and a former chief of staff of the USSR Strategic Rocket Forces.
