Aren't they suppose to be using laser technology to knock out incoming attacks. I've seen on some Disc or History program where they have a large 747 filled with laser equipment and there are three lasers that triangulate on the target and take it out in a few seconds. Maybe this is still in planning stages, but it looks like a lot better alternative then shooting down with nuclear weapon.

Yeah they have multiple different defense weapons they have researched with a lot of them leading to private sector technology.
