WASHINGTON (AP) -- Flight tests of the nation's missile defense system will not resume until this fall at the earliest as the military revamps the program following two failures in the past seven months, a military official says.
The agency would need 20 or 30 more developmental tests before it will be ready for realistic testing, Coyle said.
"If it takes two or three years to get a success, at that rate, those 20 or 30 tests could take them 50 years. They obviously need to improve the pace as well as the realism, but they haven't been able to do it," he said
