Summary/Abstract: The Strategic Concept adopted by NATO in Lisbon in November 2010 elevated territorial missile defence to a core element of NATO’s collective defence. It put an end to deliberations as to whether NATO members should have the capability to defend their territories against limited ballistic missile threats. In addition, it was the catalyst for concrete discussions as to the requirements for missile defence architecture and functioning of the system.
