$5,600,000,000 goes to space-based and boost phase intercept capabilities
What the document says“$5,600,000,000 for development of space-based and boost phase intercept capabilities;”
One of the seven line items is $5,600,000,000 for the development of space-based and boost phase intercept capabilities.
What the document actually says“$5,600,000,000 for development of space-based and boost phase intercept capabilities;”
That sentence, in plain words
One sum is $5.6 billion. It builds ways to stop a missile from space. It also builds ways to stop one soon after it lifts off.
What this is about
Boost phase is the first part of a missile's flight. It is when the rocket is still burning. Hitting it then is the aim here.
