Missile Defense
Under the last Administration, the Pentagon move forward with plans to deploy missile defense both in the United States and abroad. However, serious questions about the overall capabilities of the system remain, as do concerns about the functionality of interceptors deployed in Eastern Europe, and the Obama administration has put many of these plans on hold.
A related missile issue is the congressional skepticism about requests for funding to study the feasibility of converting portions of the submarine-based nuclear weapons force to conventional warheads under a program known as Conventional Trident Replacement.
