The entwined Cold War roots of missile defense and climate geoengineering

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 2019
Nuclear weapons and global warming stand out as two principal threats to the survival of humanity. In each of these existential cases, two strategies born during the Cold War years are competing: abandon the respective systems, or defend against the ...

Mitochondrial missile defense

Nature Medicine, 2008
A relatively obscure immune cell, the eosinophil, has a dramatic way of defending against pathogens. It rapidly ejects mitochondrial DNA, ensnaring bacteria and hastening their demise ( pages 949–953 ).

A multi-objective optimization of ballistic and cruise missile fire plans based on damage calculations from missile impacts on an airfield defended by an air defense artillery network

The Journal of Defence Modeling and Simulation: Applications, Methodology, Technology, 2018
This paper presents a new methodology for optimizing missile fire plan parameters in order to maximize the damage caused to an airfield by the impacts of ballistic and cruise missiles that leak through an air defense artillery network using weaponeering ...

The Missile Defense Debate

Foreign Affairs, 2001
Well before the 2000 election, George W. Bush and his inner cir cle were clear on a few things, one of which was missile defense. If they won, it would become the centerpiece of national security policy, even if all or most of the world's other major capitals see national missile defense (nmd), especially the U.S.

Implementing Missile Defense

2005
On December 17, 2002, President George W. Bush directed Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld “to proceed with fielding an initial set of missile defense capabilities” to protect the United States and its allies.1 Once fully deployed, this system will be composed of: (1) ground-, air-, sea-, and space-based sensors to provide early warning ...
