Cost and Value in Air and Missile Defense Intercepts - CSIS
Feb 13, 2024 · The “cost exchange ratio” framework is attractive because it is rooted in some truth: air and missile defense interceptors are relatively expensive. Budget documents for FY2024 suggest that U.S. defensive missiles are, overall, roughly twice as expensive as offensive missiles (see table below), when averaging all-up-round unit costs.

The 2022 Missile Defense Review - CSIS
Nov 14, 2022 · And for the Missile Defense Review, this is the 2022 Missile Defense Review. It’s the third iteration, the previous ones in 2019 and then in 2010, which I had a pretty big hand in in 2010 in the Obama administration. So I thought it’d be interesting to just look at a few points of continuity and then some important differences, really ...
