Book excerpt: "DoD's 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review calls for investment in such systems to grow in order to provide 'a highly persistent capability to identify and track moving ground targets in denied areas.' To that end, DoD and the National Reconnaissance Office are proposing to develop a constellation of Earth-orbiting Space Radar satellites that would provide imagery, GMTI, and geospatial intelligence products to members of the military and the intelligence community. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study--prepared at the request of Senators Wayne Allard and Bill Nelson in their respective capacities as the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Armed Services' Subcommittee on Strategic Forces--examines the costs and potential performance of four possible designs for a Space Radar system."--Preface.

Download or read book Alternatives for Military Space Radar written by Cale M. Gillen and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) and the intelligence community rely on various systems to provide imagery to tactical commanders and intelligence analysts. In addition DoD uses manned and unmanned aircraft equipped with ground moving-target indication (GMTI) radars to detect military units, vehicles, and other moving targets on the ground and inform commanders of their disposition. This book examines the costs and potential performance of four possible designs for a Space Radar System. Those four notional alternatives include three constellations of various sizes with 40-square meter radar arrays and one constellation with 100-square-meter radar arrays, all in low earth orbit. The book also highlights some of the technological challenges associated with developing and operating Space Radar satellites. This is an edited, excerpted and augmented edition combining CBO and GAO publications.

Book excerpt: "This study examines the performance characteristics and life-cycle costs of possible design choices for the Space Radar system. The Air Force and its partners have not yet decided on the final design of the satellites or the final architecture of the constellation. For the purposes of this analysis, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) developed four alternative Space Radar architectures that could meet the systems principal mission objectives. Those architectures were based on unclassified published studies and were designed to be technologically feasible (albeit challenging) in 2015, the anticipated year of the first launch. The alternatives incorporate two notional radar designs and various constellation sizes. The primary---or reference---architecture consists of nine satellites, each with a 40-square-meter radar array. The other options differ from that architecture by having either more (21) or fewer (5) satellites or larger radars (100-square-meter arrays on nine satellites)."--P. ix.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force, National Reconnaissance Office, and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency are developing a new radar reconnaissance satellite known as Space Radar to produce images of the Earth's surface using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) techniques and to detect moving targets on the ground, among other missions. The first launch of what would eventually be a constellation of Space Radar satellites is now planned for about 2015. Since the late 1970s, various nations have operated SAR imaging satellites for national security or scientific purposes. However, as currently envisioned, Space Radar would be more capable than existing systems or those likely to be launched in the next few years. In particular, the ability' to identify moving targets from space would constitute a major improvement in capability. Fully realizing that and other advances, however, would require designers to meet numerous technical challenges.

Book Synopsis The Science of War by : Michael E. O'Hanlon
Download or read book The Science of War written by Michael E. O'Hanlon and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-21 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military is one of the largest and most complex organizations in the world. How it spends its money, chooses tactics, and allocates its resources have enormous implications for national defense and the economy. The Science of War is the only comprehensive textbook on how to analyze and understand these and other essential problems in modern defense policy. Michael O'Hanlon provides undergraduate and graduate students with an accessible yet rigorous introduction to the subject. Drawing on a broad range of sources and his own considerable expertise as a defense analyst and teacher, he describes the analytic techniques the military uses in every crucial area of military science. O'Hanlon explains how the military budget works, how the military assesses and deploys new technology, develops strategy and fights wars, handles the logistics of stationing and moving troops and equipment around the world, and models and evaluates battlefield outcomes. His modeling techniques have been tested in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the methods he used to predict higher-than-anticipated troop fatalities in Iraq--controversial predictions that have since been vindicated. The Science of War is the definitive resource on warfare in the twenty-first century. Gives the best introduction to defense analysis available Covers defense budgeting Shows how to model and predict outcomes in war Explains military logistics, including overseas basing Examines key issues in military technology, including missile defense, space warfare, and nuclear-weapons testing Based on the author's graduate-level courses at Princeton, Columbia, and Georgetown universities
Book Synopsis Competitive Strategies for the 21st Century by : Thomas G. Mahnken
Download or read book Competitive Strategies for the 21st Century written by Thomas G. Mahnken and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. today faces the most complex and challenging security environment in recent memory— even as it deals with growing constraints on its ability to respond to threats. Its most consequential challenge is the rise of China, which increasingly has the capability to deny the U.S. access to areas of vital national interest and to undermine alliances that have underpinned regional stability for over half a century. Thus, the time is right for the U.S. to adopt a long-term strategy for dealing with China; one that includes but is not limited to military means, and that fully includes U.S. allies in the region. This book uses the theory and practice of peacetime great-power strategic competition to derive recommendations for just such a strategy. After examining the theory of peacetime strategic competition, it assesses the U.S.-China military balance in depth, considers the role of America's allies in the region, and explores strategies that the U.S could adopt to improve its strategic position relative to China over the long term.
Book Synopsis Regional Ballistic Missile Defense in the Context of Strategic Stability by : Russian Academy of Sciences
Download or read book Regional Ballistic Missile Defense in the Context of Strategic Stability written by Russian Academy of Sciences and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As ballistic missile technology proliferates, and as ballistic missile defenses are deployed by both the Russian Federation and the United States, it is increasingly important for these two countries to seek ways to reap the benefits of systems that can protect their own national security interests against limited missile attacks from third countries without undermining the strategic balance that the two governments maintain to ensure stability. Regional Ballistic Missile Defense in the Context of Strategic Stability examines both the technical implications of planned missile defense deployments for Russian and U.S. strategic deterrents and the benefits and disadvantages of a range of options for cooperation on missile defense.
Book Synopsis The Myth of the Nuclear Revolution by : Keir A. Lieber
Download or read book The Myth of the Nuclear Revolution written by Keir A. Lieber and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading analysts have predicted for decades that nuclear weapons would help pacify international politics. The core notion is that countries protected by these fearsome weapons can stop competing so intensely with their adversaries: they can end their arms races, scale back their alliances, and stop jockeying for strategic territory. But rarely have theory and practice been so opposed. Why do international relations in the nuclear age remain so competitive? Indeed, why are today's major geopolitical rivalries intensifying? In The Myth of the Nuclear Revolution, Keir A. Lieber and Daryl G. Press tackle the central puzzle of the nuclear age: the persistence of intense geopolitical competition in the shadow of nuclear weapons. They explain why the Cold War superpowers raced so feverishly against each other; why the creation of "mutual assured destruction" does not ensure peace; and why the rapid technological changes of the 21st century will weaken deterrence in critical hotspots around the world. By explaining how the nuclear revolution falls short, Lieber and Press discover answers to the most pressing questions about deterrence in the coming decades: how much capability is required for a reliable nuclear deterrent, how conventional conflicts may become nuclear wars, and how great care is required now to prevent new technology from ushering in an age of nuclear instability.
Book Synopsis Small Satellite Missions for Earth Observation by : Rainer Sandau
Download or read book Small Satellite Missions for Earth Observation written by Rainer Sandau and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-23 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was compiled from contributions given at the 7th IAA Symposium on Small Satellites for Earth Observation, May 4–8, 2009, Berlin (IAA – International Academy of Astronautics). From the 15 sessions for oral presentations and two poster sessions, 52 contributions were selected which are representative for the new developments and trends in the area of small satellites for Earth observation. They re ect the potentials of a diversity of missions and related technologies. This may be based on national projects or international co-operations, single satellites of constellations, pico-, nano-, micro- or mini-satellites, developed by companies, research institutions or agencies. The main focus is on new missions to monitor our Earth’s resources (Part I), and the environment in which our Earth is emb- ded (Part II). Part III deals with distributed space systems, a unique feature of small satellites and in most cases impractical to do with large satellites. Here we concentrate on constellations of satellites with focus on future missions relying on co-operating satellites. For all the new developments and projects we need well e- cated specialists coming from the universities. Many universities included already the development and implementation of small satellites in their curriculum. The u- versity satellites chapter (Part IV) shows the high quality which is already reached by some of the universities worldwide.

Download or read book Making Sense of Ballistic Missile Defense written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-01-28 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee on an Assessment of Concepts and Systems for U.S. Boost-Phase Missile Defense in Comparison to Other Alternatives set forth to provide an assessment of the feasibility, practicality, and affordability of U.S. boost-phase missile defense compared with that of the U.S. non-boost missile defense when countering short-, medium-, and intermediate-range ballistic missile threats from rogue states to deployed forces of the United States and its allies and defending the territory of the United States against limited ballistic missile attack. To provide a context for this analysis of present and proposed U.S. boost-phase and non-boost missile defense concepts and systems, the committee considered the following to be the missions for ballistic missile defense (BMD): protecting of the U.S. homeland against nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD); or conventional ballistic missile attacks; protection of U.S. forces, including military bases, logistics, command and control facilities, and deployed forces, including military bases, logistics, and command and control facilities. They also considered deployed forces themselves in theaters of operation against ballistic missile attacks armed with WMD or conventional munitions, and protection of U.S. allies, partners, and host nations against ballistic-missile-delivered WMD and conventional weapons. Consistent with U.S. policy and the congressional tasking, the committee conducted its analysis on the basis that it is not a mission of U.S. BMD systems to defend against large-scale deliberate nuclear attacks by Russia or China. Making Sense of Ballistic Missile Defense: An Assessment of Concepts and Systems for U.S. Boost-Phase Missile Defense in Comparison to Other Alternatives suggests that great care should be taken by the U.S. in ensuring that negotiations on space agreements not adversely impact missile defense effectiveness. This report also explains in further detail the findings of the committee, makes recommendations, and sets guidelines for the future of ballistic missile defense research.

Book Synopsis A Methodology for Assessing Technology Trade-Offs of Space-Based Radar Concepts by : John E. Puffenbarger
Download or read book A Methodology for Assessing Technology Trade-Offs of Space-Based Radar Concepts written by John E. Puffenbarger and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A methodology is developed to aid a decision maker in assessing the technology trade-offs for space system concepts. A review of systems engineering and the tools of operations research shows that the analytic hierarchy process provides a suitable basis for this methodology. The possible concept options that fall under the overall space-based radar concept are representative of the multiple trade-offs inherent in planning for future space systems. Many of the technology issues appropriate to space-based radar concepts are presented to establish a foundation for the methodology. The proposed methodology exposes the three phases of the analytic hierarchy process and how they interact to provide an overall priority for a selected number of concept options. Particular emphasis is placed on the division of the decision process according to a decision hierarchy and a support hierarchy. A key feature of such an approach is its compatibility with the format and terminology of the Military Space Systems Technology Plan developed by the Air Force Space Technology Center. (Thesis).
