During the slow fall, the rocket engine was launched.

Then the video showed how the USS McCampbell ship launched the SM-3 Block IIA anti-aircraft missile, which underlies Aegis. "District of the Pacific rocket launcher, Kauai, Hawaii, the first part of this multidimensional test has successfully demonstrated that the AEGIS system is tracking and distinguishing between a complex target scene of medium -range ballistic missile and uses counter -arriations," the MDA explains.
