    A surface-to-air missile is captured mid-launch from a mobile military launcher system, with a large plume of white smoke and flame visible at the base. The launch appears to take place at a test range or military installation in a cold, arid environment with snow visible on the ground. Debris and ejected canister components are visible around the missile as it ascends.

    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.
