Full funding...would
ensure that the United
States receives...a
data archival package
for future potential
use on other U.S. air
and missile defense
improvements.
– June 2012
Without the results of
the Proof of Concept,
DoD (and the other
Participants)
would…be forced to
re-invest at a later
date to obtain the
design, integration,
performance and
testing information.

Carter
It is in our national interest
to support funding for
MEADS in FY13, and that
walking away…after
investing $2.7 billion would
be an irresponsible waste
of taxpayer funds.
– June 2012
Limiting the remaining
funding for MEADS,
…would have grave effects
on our ongoing capability
development, our ability to
build our partners' capacity
in air and missile defense,
and, potentially, on our
current and future NATO
commitments to missile
defense.

Stavridis
Requested FY2013
funding enables the U.S.
to obtain the technology
it paid for and avoids
potential negative
impacts to other Air and
Missile Defense
programs.
– June 2012
This joint program will
deliver a system with a
360-degree capability
which will, over time,
compliment U.S. ballistic
missile defense
capabilities.

Commitment to MEADS

General Peter
Chiarelli
LTG Norbert Finster
Vice Chief of Staff,

Without full funding, the
United States would
incur the significant
costs associated with a
unilateral withdrawal
…planned Patriot
System modernization
may be affected.
– September 2011
We are deeply
convinced that MEADS
will offer the needed
growth potential, to
enable future
enhancements.

German Member of
the Bundestag Ernst-
Reinhold Beck
German Minister of
Defense Thomas de
Maizière
Current Congressional
action…risks wasting
hundreds of millions of
euros already invested
in Germany in a muchneeded
air and missile
defense capability.
– June 2012
For Germany and Italy,
orderly completion of
the MEADS project and
the findings gained from
its “Proof of Concept”
phase are an essential
basis for our future air
defense as well as for
the European
contribution to NATO
Missile Defense.
– July 2012
Solid German and Italian
Support for MEADS
Italian Minister of
Defense Giampaolo di
Paola
Detlef Selhausen,
National Armaments
Director, German
Ministry of Defence
The D&D results are
vital for Italy…and are
fundamental to allow
the Italian contribution
to the NATO Integrated
Air and Missile Defense.
– June 2012
Joint termination of the
current MEADS
development is not an
option for Germany. It
would, additionally, be
difficult to reconcile any
joint termination with
German budgetary law.
