The Japan Maritime Self Defense Force destroyer JDS Chokai launches a Standard Missile 3 during a Missile Defense Agency joint missile defense intercept test. The SM-3 was launched to intercept a medium-range separating target that was launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii. The system, ship's crew and missile performed as expected, but the SM-3 failed to intercept the target. The failure is under investigation.

The National Space & Missile Materials Symposium (NSMMS) and the Commercial & Government Responsive Access to Space Technology Exchange (CRASTE), two space focused conferences, will co-locate events for the 12th year. These co-located symposia continue their legacy in bringing together technologists, users, and decision makers from across the nation. Discussions involve key technology issues related to space, missile, hypersonic systems, and a variety of commercial space topics necessary for our country’s defense and research & development pursuits.

The 2024 forum will have a joint senior level plenary session, a variety of technical sessions covering research and technology, an exhibit show, a student grant program which promotes college-level participation in science and technology, a small business forum designed to forge connections between primes & SBIR agencies with small business, a work-share and job board program to promote workforce development, and multiple networking events.
