Download or read book Crs Report for Congress written by Congressional Research Service: The Libr and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing number and modernization of ballistic missiles in the Asia-Pacific region poses a security challenge for the United States and its allies and is thus a concern for many in Congress. The United States has made ballistic missile defense (BMD) a central component of protection for forward-deployed U.S. forces and extended deterrence for allied security. The configuration of sensors, command-and-control centers, and BMD assets in the region has slowly evolved with contributions from treaty allies, primarily Japan, Australia, and South Korea. Observers believe that North Korea has an arsenal of hundreds of short-range ballistic missiles and likely dozens of medium-range Nodong missiles; the extended-range Nodongs are considered capable of reaching Japan and U.S. bases there. Longer-range North Korean missiles appear to remain unreliable, with only one successful test out of five in the past 15 years. The U.S. intelligence community has not reached consensus that North Korea can build nuclear warheads small enough to put on ballistic missiles, and there is debate among experts on this question.

Book excerpt: "US policy choices toward TMD in the Asia-Pacific region must be acutely mindful of the pitfalls associated with missile defense deployments, but they must also be responsive to the growing ballistic missile threats in the region. A simplistic, "one-size-fits-all" policy for TMD would worsen regional security and harm US national security interests"--Web site
Book Synopsis The U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense Policy in Europe and the Asia-Pacific by : Soo-hyung Lee
Download or read book The U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense Policy in Europe and the Asia-Pacific written by Soo-hyung Lee and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. ballistic missile defense policy toward Europe and the Asia-Pacific region could be seen as a policy initiative that satisfies both of the two meanings of rebalancing strategy, which are the strategic redirection of the defense policy and efficient operations of its military forces. Although the efforts of the American missile defense system construction in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region were promoted before the rebalancing strategy, the U.S. missile defense policy in these regions could be interpreted as a component of the rebalancing strategy. Based on its missile defense policy, it is possible for the United States to pursue efficient management and the retrenchment of its military forces in Europe. In addition, the United States will protect the security of its allies and strengthen cooperation with partner states in the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, this article reviews the U.S. missile defense policy in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region from the standpoint of rebalancing strategy and examines its strategic implications for the ROK-U.S. alliance.
Book Synopsis Asia-Pacific Rebalance 2025 by : Michael Green
Download or read book Asia-Pacific Rebalance 2025 written by Michael Green and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-02-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, Congress tasked the Department of Defense to commission an independent assessment of U.S. military strategy and force posture in the Asia-Pacific, as well as that of U.S. allies and partners, over the next decade. This CSIS study fulfills that congressional requirement. The authors assess U.S. progress to date and recommend initiatives necessary to protect U.S. interests in the Pacific Command area of responsibility through 2025. Four lines of effort are highlighted: (1) Washington needs to continue aligning Asia strategy within the U.S. government and with allies and partners; (2) U.S. leaders should accelerate efforts to strengthen ally and partner capability, capacity, resilience, and interoperability; (3) the United States should sustain and expand U.S. military presence in the Asia-Pacific region; and (4) the United States should accelerate development of innovative capabilities and concepts for U.S. forces.
Book Synopsis 2019 Missile Defense Review by : Department Of Defense
Download or read book 2019 Missile Defense Review written by Department Of Defense and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 Missile Defense Review - January 2019 According to a senior administration official, a number of new technologies are highlighted in the report. The review looks at "the comprehensive environment the United States faces, and our allies and partners face. It does posture forces to be prepared for capabilities that currently exist and that we anticipate in the future." The report calls for major investments from both new technologies and existing systems. This is a very important and insightful report because many of the cost assessments for these technologies in the past, which concluded they were too expensive, are no longer applicable.

Book Synopsis The Evolving Maritime Balance of Power in the Asia-Pacific by : Lawrence W. Prabhakar
Download or read book The Evolving Maritime Balance of Power in the Asia-Pacific written by Lawrence W. Prabhakar and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2006 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asia-Pacific region has emerged as the hub of global geo-political, geo-economic and geo-strategic significance in the post-Cold War period. The rise of China and the resurgence of India will be the hallmark for the next 50 years. How this surge in power is accommodated by the incumbent powers like the United States and Japan, and how the new regional powers like China and India manage the power politics that emerge will be the key determinants of regional stability.This volume examines the national maritime doctrines as well as the nuclear weapons developments at sea of the four major powers in the Asia-Pacific, namely, China, India, Japan and the United States, to see if the evolving dynamic is a cooperative or a competitive one. In particular, the volume looks at the evolving paradigms of maritime transformation in strategy and technology; the emergent new maritime doctrines and evolving force postures in the naval orders of battle; the role and operations of nuclear navies in the Asia-Pacific; and the implications and impact of nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles and sea-based missile defence responses in the region.

Book Synopsis Japan and Ballistic Missile Defense by :
Download or read book Japan and Ballistic Missile Defense written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spurred by a perceived growing ballistic missile threat from within the Asia-Pacific region and requests from the United States to support research and development on components of a missile defense system, the Japanese government decided in late 1998 and early 1999 to move forward with joint research and development with the United States on ballistic missile defense (BMD). But the decisions taken thus far commit Japan only to limited participation with the U.S. government on collaborative research and prototype production of theater missile defense (TMD) components. To date, Japan has undertaken no effort to develop or acquire a dedicated BMD system, nor has it assessed the larger political and strategic implications of a Japanese BMD system in any thorough or systematic manner. More important, no consensus has yet emerged in favor of the development or deployment of a full-fledged BMD system in Japan. Finally, Japan and the United States have not clarified: (1) how essential it is for Japan to participate in a more extensive program of joint research and development; (2) the extent of system interoperability that is desirable and achievable; or (3) the impact of a decision to deploy on the strategic environment in Asia.
Book Synopsis Chinese Security Interests and US Ballistic Missile Defenses by : Ronald G. Jacobson
Download or read book Chinese Security Interests and US Ballistic Missile Defenses written by Ronald G. Jacobson and published by . This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The People's Republic of China (PRC) has undertaken extensive military modernization efforts in the post-Cold War period. Many of these efforts are directed at curbing what the Chinese consider unchecked US influence in the Asia-Pacific region. Continuing efforts by the United States to develop and deploy ballistic missile defenses (BMD) threaten to undermine the PRC's sole overseas power projection instrument, ballistic missiles, leaving Beijing with a seriously weakened repertoire for coercion and undermining Beijing's long-term goal of acquiring the ability to counter US influence. This thesis examines China's national security interests in the near future and the ballistic missile defense capabilities being pursued by the United States. It then analyzes the implications of the potential competition between US BMD and Chinese ballistic missiles for Sino-American security relations.

Book Synopsis Destabilizing Defense - How BMD Ensures Tension With China - American Ballistic Missile Defense Upsets Strategic Balance in Asian-Pacific Regional Stability with Confusing Signals to China by : U S Military
Download or read book Destabilizing Defense - How BMD Ensures Tension With China - American Ballistic Missile Defense Upsets Strategic Balance in Asian-Pacific Regional Stability with Confusing Signals to China written by U S Military and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Policy states that our BMD system is intended to defend the country against a limited ballistic missile attack by "states acquiring nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in contravention of international norms and in defiance of the international community"- in other words, against rogue states and actors. It explicitly states that our capabilities are not focused on China or Russia, are not intended to affect the strategic balance with them, and are not of sufficient capacity to deal with Chinese or Russian large scale attacks. Despite the pronounced intention of U.S. policy, the overmatched capability of the US BMD System against even the most inflated assessment of North Korea ballistic missile capability upsets the strategic balance and increases tensions with China, hence complicating Asian-Pacific regional stability and U.S./allied security interests there.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.There is no greater threat to the American people than weapons of mass destruction - so says the 2010 National Security Strategy. As part of its comprehensive strategy for Homeland Defense to mitigate this threat, the United States has committed to a Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) to defend the country against a limited ballistic missile attack by "states acquiring nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in contravention of international norms and in defiance of the international community"1, specifically Iran and North Korea. The United States Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Policy explicitly states that its homeland missile defense capabilities are not focused on China or Russia, are not intended to affect the strategic balance with them, and are not of sufficient capacity to deal with Chinese or Russian large scale attacks. While the policy rhetoric intends to mollify concerns, the reality of overmatched United States defensive capability against even the most aggrandized rogue state threat indeed upsets the strategic balance with China, hence complicating Asian-Pacific regional stability and U.S./allied security interests there. The United States has inadvertently transmitted confusing, counterproductive signals to China and increased tensions in the Asian-Pacific region by ignoring fundamental elements of deterrent theory. China's historical contentedness to rely on a minimalist "limited retaliation" nuclear deterrent strategy has been challenged and led to massive expansion of its nuclear arsenal; its mistrust and suspicion of U.S. intent to impede China's ascendance to world-power status has deepened; and focus on anti-access/area denial (A2AD) capabilities has increased as a counter-intervention deterrent into its perceived regional affairs.U.S. Policy Background - Since the thawing of the Cold War and the relative decline of the Russian nuclear arsenal, the logic of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) that undergirded the United States' strategic doctrine and constrained the bipolar nuclear arms race has given way to a single hegemonic world order and U.S. nuclear primacy. The widening proliferation of nuclear weapons and missile technologies across the globe, especially to rogue states whose framework for rational behavior is questionable, has given reason to refine our strategic deterrent approach with a growing focus on complementary defensive capabilities as a sort of insurance.

Download or read book Arming Asia written by Richard Bitzinger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bitzinger examines the phenomenon of attempted self-reliance in arms production within Asia, and assesses the extent of success in balancing this independence with the growing requirements of next-generation weapons systems. He analyzes China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. The overarching question in the book is whether self-reliance is a strategically viable solution for development and manufacturing of arms. Given the ever-changing dynamics and increasing demand for sophisticated next-generation weaponry, will these countries be able to individually sustain their domestic defense industries and constantly update their technologies? This is the first book to analyze arms production from a regional perspective.
