2007年12月3日,美国导弹防御局在新墨西哥州白沙导弹靶场进行的一次试验中,利用从 F-16战斗机上发射出去的一枚配备有先进红外导引头的 AIM-9X“超级响尾蛇”空对空导弹,成功地拦截了一枚正在助推飞行中的“猎户座”(Orion)探空火箭。这次出人意料的成功试验,不仅标志美国有史以来第一次在试验中演示了利用导弹拦截助推飞行中导弹的技术可行性,同时也为美国验证了一种实施助推段防御的新途径,必将为美国长期追求的、发展和建立助推段防御系统的计划注入新的动力。
On December 3, 2007, in a test conducted at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico by the United States Missile Defense Agency, an AIM-9X “super rattlesnake equipped with an advanced infrared seeker was launched from the F-16 fighter jet ”Air-to-air missiles, successfully intercepting a“ sounding ”Orion sounding rocket in flight. This unexpected success test not only marks the first time in the history of the United States that the demonstration of the technical feasibility of using missiles to boost missiles in flight but also validates a new way for the United States to implement a boost stage defense, It is bound to inject new impetus into the long-awaited plan of the United States to develop and establish a boost defense system.
