A Medium Extended Air Defense System missile is launched to intercept a target during a MEADS test at White Sands Missile Range Nov. 29. The test exploited the MEADS capability for full-perimeter, 360-degree defense with the PAC-3 MSE Missile performing a unique over-the-shoulder maneuver to defeat the target attacking from behind the MEADS emplacement.
