European Plans: NATO Ministers Approve Study Funding NATO defense ministers have approved funding for a missile defense feasibility study at their meeting yesterday (see GSN, June 2). “This is truly an exciting time for missile defense at NATO,” said NATO’s Assistant Secretary General for Defense Investment Robert Bell. “Missile defense is without any doubt a major building block towards transformation of the alliance to meet new security threats,” he added. Work on the study, which will examine options for missile defense systems and determine the best technologies and systems to achieve an effective NATO missile defense, is expected to commence in October (NATO release, June 13).
