"<p>A malfunction in a radar built by Raytheon Co., caused a U.S.  attempt to shoot down a missile mimicking an Iranian attack to fail, the Defense  Department has announced.<br />\n<br />\nThe $150 million test, which took place over  the Pacific Ocean, followed a Pentagon report noting that Iran's expanded  ballistic missile capabilities posed a significant threat in the Middle East to  both U.S. and allied forces.<br />\n<br />\nThe Pentagon released a review of ballistic  missile defense on Monday, which revealed that Iran had developed and acquired  ballistic missiles that had the capability to strike targets from the Middle  East to Eastern Europe.<br />\n<br />\nThis was the first time that a test of the United  States' long range defense against a simulated Iranian attack has been  performed, though similar tests have been done involving North Korean  missiles.<br />\n<br />\nBoth the target missile and the interceptor in this weekend's  test performed correctly, reports have said, but the Sea-Based X-band radar did  not perform correctly according to reports on the Missile Defense Agency's  website.<br />\n<br />\nThe SBX radar, as it is commonly known, is a major part of the  United States' ground based midcourse defense, which is the only response to  long range missiles that could be tipped with biological, chemical or nuclear  warheads.</p>"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
