The policies and organizations created by this effort were subject to a recent Obama Administration policy review focusing on regional "Phased Adaptive Approaches," beginning with Europe. It was supported by Abraham Sofaer and Richard Perle, and was the focus of an inconclusive meeting in Reykjavik summit. The programs established by this effort have been repeatedly criticized by Theodore Postol and currently rely on the SM-3. Failed attempts to realize this program have included (*) Brilliant Pebbles, inspired by the "Kinetic Kill Vehicile", and using a Boeing-747 mounted with an Airborne Laser. This program has undergone two name changes in the decades after a visit to NORAD by a former Governor of California  resulted in its instigation.
