Of these, clearly the most cost-effective and -- if properly executed -- nearest-term would be a sea-based program using the Navy's existing Aegis fleet air defense assets.
It is destined for Japan's fifth Aegis-class destroyer, now under construction in Nagasaki by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, maker of the World War II Zero fighter and still Japan's largest weapons producer.

It stands to reason that, if the political will, streamlined management and necessary resources are brought to bear, the Navy's existing Aegis fleet air defense infrastructure would be able to provide at least some anti-missile protection for the American people -- as well as for their forces and allies overseas -- well before 2005.
