The Future of Missile Defense

In President Biden’s first speech to Congress, he named the nuclear programs in North Korea and Iran “serious threats to American security and the security of the world.” Diplomacy and deterrence are key tenets of the White House’s strategy, but to ensure readiness, the Pentagon is prioritizing a robust, layered missile defense and response program.

What areas of the U.S. threat landscape are most critical to defense leaders? What advanced technical capabilities will the Pentagon deploy to mitigate risk in the near and long terms? And what are the primary challenges in American missile defense strategy?

On June 29, The Hill convenes members of Congress, defense leaders and national security experts to discuss the future of missile defense, domestic readiness and our homeland security posture.
