What do you suppose that does to MAD?
We could reconfigure the deflector to emit an inverted graviton pulse, but we would have to divert power from the warp core. We have to keep the shields up, this means we would have to take the transporters, the hollow-deck and life support off line.

I recommend we activate the Emergency Command Hologram incase the bridge crew is incapacitated while the burst is discharging.

All of the IFT hit-to-kill experiments are examples of the NMD shooting down an ICBM.
Your link provides no evidence that the target intercepted were ICBMs. Intercepting a shorter range missile isn't nearly as difficult.

They were dummy ICBMs, accurately simulating ICBMs in terms of trajectory and speed.
