Oh, a single intercept should certainly be doable given the proper equipment, such as what the old system had (1MT neutron bombs are supposedly rather effective). Of course, if you have multiple incoming missiles, the background clutter caused by all those nuclear explosions in space may make the next intercept a bit harder.
