The Clinton administration has embraced a major program to develop a family of theater missile defense (TMD) systems to protect US forces and allies overseas. The large scale of the undertaking is reflected in Congressional Budget Office estimates that currently planned development and procurement alone will cost around $50 billion through the year 2010. This figure could easily double if the proposed advanced-capability systems are actually deployed and the historical pattern of cost escalation of high-technology programs prevails.
