This article would clearly be helped if we had access to History of the Plato Antimissile Missile System, which Andreas noted was still classified. I'm not sure that is true. The paper is mentioned in later papers that are declassified, like this one on FABMDS, and is quoted by Baucom. I'm 99% sure that he did not use classified sources for his works, but I'll see if I can find out for sure. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:41, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, if that has turned up it would certainly work well. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:48, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
