Defense against ballistic missiles

30th Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 1992
Abstract : The topic of my lecture is defense against ballistic missiles armed with nuclear warheads. I would like to start by discussing for a short time the air defense problem and how it was solved during the Second World War. Ground based defenses against aircraft using anti-aircraft artillery turned out not to be very effective.

Ballistic Missile Defense Radar

2014
The principal U.S. radars composing this class are listed. While this chapter is focused on BMD, the MW and SSA missions are also addressed in the introduction because a given sensor may perform aspects of all three missions. In the United States, the Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment (ITWAA) system detects and tracks strategic ...

The grand plans [ballistic missile defense]

IEEE Spectrum, 1997
The United States plans to use a layered approach to protect its forces and allies against short-range ballistic missiles, which have ranges less than 3500 km. Area defenses such as the land-based Theater High Altitude Area Defense (Thaad) and the sea-based upper-tier defenses will cover broad areas. Patriot PAC-2 and PAC-3 and the sea-based lower-tier

The Full Costs of Ballistic Missile Defense

2003
Abstract : Ballistic missile defense is technologically extremely challenging and efforts to solve the technical challenges, including those of evolving countermeasures, are inevitably laden with uncertainty and, therefore, are expensive. The Bush administration's interest in building a comprehensive, or "layered," missile defense system could lead to ...
