BARKING SANDS, Hawaii (AP) _ The U.S. Missile Defense Agency plans another test of its ballistic missile interception system this week.
For the first time, the Navy's Aegis system is to attempt to intercept and destroy two incoming target missiles at about the same time.
The targets are to be launched tomorrow from the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands on Kauai.
A Japanese destroyer is also joining in the tests to detect and track the targets.
It will be the 12th test of the Aegis program of sea-based ballistic missile defense.
Nine of the first eleven tests were successful.
