    No. There has been controversy among experts about whether it is technically feasible to build an effective missile defense system and, in particular, if it will work. An April 2000 study by the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Security Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology concluded that "[a]ny country capable of deploying a long-range missile would also be able to deploy countermeasures that would defeat the planned NMD system." Countermeasures studied in detail were bomblets containing biological or chemical agents, aluminized balloons to serve as decoys and to disguise warheads, and cooling warheads to reduce the kill vehicle’s ability to detect them.

    No. That is the whole point of a nuclear deterrent. You can't defend against it.
