I wonder if these uncontested contractors lied all these years about the success rate of their ICBM program and now that it may be put to a real-time test with real target(s) and not dummies they control they are sh*tting in their pants. (opinion)

They will be given the coords before the launch and real time telemetry during the intercept from a different group. THAAD is a feel good weapon. None of these systems don't work that includes the patriot, and iron dome.
To have a real intercept the payload has to be destroyed. If the missile is damaged and it fall on a barrack full of people and kills them it can hardly be counted as an intercept. If the payload is nuclear and the intercept pushes the warhead from Newark to New York. The military contractors can claim a hit however millions of people will still be dead.
