MEADS final test could involve two targets

According to Aviation Week, the consortium developing the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) is requesting approval from Italy, Germany and the United States to conduct a “dual-launch” scenario in the final test.

The air defense system will pit itself against an air-breathing cruise missile and a theater ballistic missile fired nearly simultaneously and 120-deg. apart.
