	Missile defence: the need for a common European initiative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		This missile defence system is unprecedented in terms of its scope (it will defend US territory, deployed troops and other countries against all types of missile attacks), system integration (of components based on land, at sea and in aerospace), and resource intensity (costs of research, development, and deployment).
		MEADS lower-tier defences are being developed to defend deployed military forces from the air (aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise missiles) and tactical BM attacks (Dean Wilkening 2000).
		Limited budgets, giving rise to a preference for conventional deterrence and preventive diplomacy, and also Europe's geostrategic position, suggest that missile defence is perceived primarily as a complementary defence system (Bruno Tertrais 2003).
