Summary edit

Description
English: PACIFIC OCEAN (April 26, 2007) - A short range unitary (non separating) ballistic missile target is launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands, as part of a joint Missile Defense Agency, U.S. Navy ballistic missile flight test. Minutes later, a Standard Missile - 3 (SM-3), launched from the Aegis cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG 70), intercepted the target 100 miles above the ocean, 250 miles northwest of Kaua'i. At the same time, the USS Lake Erie also launched a Standard Missile - 2 (SM-2) against a hostile air target, dropped from a Navy plane, in order to defend herself. This test also marks the 27th successful hit-to-kill intercept in tests since 2001. U.S. Navy photo (RELEASED)
