American Journal of Political Science, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 925-945, July 2026.Abstract How can defense alliances reap the efficiency gains of working together when coordination and opportunism costs are high? Although specializing as part of a collective comes with economic and functional benefits, states must bargain over the distribution of those gains and ensure the costs of collective action are minimized.

Signals, Red Lines, and Collision: The Israel‐Iran Spiral and US Intervention
Middle East Policy, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 5-23, Summer 2026.Abstract The Iran War erupted in February 2026 without UN authorization, and Washington's rationales—Iranian nuclear ambitions, missile capacity, and proxy threats—map more closely onto Israeli than US security interests. Why have we seen two major conflicts between these belligerents in less than one year?

MX Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Program [PDF]
, 1981 This report discusses the MX Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM),which is designed to be the most lethal strategic ballistic missile in the world. The missile was developed by the U.S. Air Force to augment the capabilities of the presently deployed

Kyklos, Volume 79, Issue 1, Page 17-23, February 2026.ABSTRACT This article proposes that wars are fought to bring about and monitor mutual reductions of overinvestment in broadly defined military preparedness. If two potential combatants are overinvested in military preparedness, it is in their individual interest to scale down in order to use their resources in politically more desirable ways.

Optimal Midcourse Guidance Algorithm for Exoatmospheric Interception Using Analytical Gradients
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 This paper is aimed at providing a semianalytical method to solve the optimal exoatmospheric interception problem with the minimum fuel consumption. A nonlinear programming (NLP) problem with the minimum velocity increment, which involves Lambert’s problem with unspecified time‐of‐flight, is firstly formulated.

Does Europe Need a New Missile Defence System? ESF Working Papers No. 27, November 2007 [PDF]
, 2007 US plans for a ballistic missile defence system in Europe have given rise to opposition in Russia and tensions in Europe. While some argue that the defence shield is needed to protect Europe against new threats from the proliferation of long-range ...

International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Traditional ascent trajectory optimization methods for hypersonic vehicles suffer from a high computational burden. This paper proposes an intelligent optimization algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning, where the offline‐trained neural network enables fast trajectory generation and online deployment while maintaining all terminal, control, and

Development of a Point Pyroshock Source Simulator
Shock and Vibration, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 We developed a point pyroshock source simulator (PPSS) for the study on the source isolation approach (SIA) in this study. In spite of the potentiality of the SIA for avionics protection against pyroshock, it has rarely been investigated due to lack of pyroshock source simulators.

Third or “Second and a Half”? Continuity, Path Dependence, and the Third Nuclear Age
Global Policy, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 934-944, November 2025.ABSTRACT The world has entered a new nuclear age. Scholars have characterized this “third nuclear age” as one of renewed competition among nuclear‐armed great powers and the coming maturation of new technologies. I trace the origins of the new nuclear age. Focusing primarily on US strategies with two case studies on conventional strike capabilities and
