Israel Seeks System To Detect Nukes

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Israel has submitted a request for a joint program with
the United States to develop a system that could distinguish between real
nuclear warheads and decoys.
The program called for the development of an airborne electro-optic
sensor that could determine whether incoming missiles contained real or
dummy warheads. The project was meant to counter the effort by Iran and
Syria to produce missiles with multiple warheads.
"This is one of the biggest challenges Israel and the United States will
have in any missile defense system," an Israeli defense source said.
