Current Tactical Systems
Many short-range tactical ABM systems are currently operational, and three are most known: the U.S. Army Patriot, U.S. Navy Aegis combat system, and the Israeli Arrow missile. They are not capable of intercepting an ICBM, even if it is in range.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or systems:
“If the current is right, one can drift to success.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
