Smart Defence
Policy and Objectives
– Builds on the strengths of the Alliance
to deliver essential capabilities while
reducing unit costs
– Draws on existing mechanisms to
coordinate defence efforts, aligning
national and Alliance capabilities
– Provides a platform for Allies to build
on individual strengths through
coordination with the Alliance and
each other
Ballistic Missile Defence
is the quintessential Net-Centric challenge

4. 4
BMD Building Blocks
Robust layered defence capabilities
1. Command & Control
– Evolved NATO BMDS
2. BMD Sensors
– Sensors capable of Early Warning, Search,
Track, Discrimination and Engagement
Support
– Connected in robust Sensor Grid
3. Weapon Control
– Weapon Systems to perform ballistic
missile intercepts
– Incorporate advanced Net-centric
engagement concepts
4. Effectors
– Upper and lower tier BMD interceptors
– Launch denial strike weapons
