Ballistic Missile Defense: A Supercomputer Challenge

Computer, 1980
Incredibly complex ballistic missile defense computational problems have been a rich source of technological advance. The BMD challenge will stimulate supercomputer development through the 1980's.

Ballistic Missile Defense

2016
Every military weapon, it seems, has an anti-weapon defense. Swords versus shields; tanks versus tank traps, poison gas versus gas masks; and so on. Anti-ballistic missile (ABM) defensive weapons are important for several reasons. The connection between offensive missiles and defensive technologies played a role in the nuclear-weapons debate with the ...

Ballistic missile defense for Europe

Comparative Strategy, 1985
Abstract The debate over ballistic missile defense is now beginning to focus on theater as well as strategic applications, particularly with the growth of the Soviet SS‐20 through 23 series of ballistic missiles emplaced in the Euro‐theater. A defense against such systems presents formidable but not insurmountable technical problems.

Ballistic Missile Defense and Europe

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 1967
“So far as the possibly deleterious effect ABM might have on the general climate of relations between the Soviet Union and the West is concerned, it is obvious that many European nations are at present particularly anxious that nothing should disturb the apparent progress being made toward a relaxation of tensions.

Recognition of warhead in ballistic missile defense

2014 7th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, 2014
A novel method is presented to recognize warheads in the ballistic missile defense. The normalized correlation coefficients and further the matching scores between range profiles (RPs) of warhead are first calculated. By introducing a threshold, the warhead and decoy can be separately classified.
