Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The missile blasting triumphantly out of the silo that foggy September morning in 2006, to soon even more resoundingly meet and destroy a target at over 100 miles measured straight up, symbolized a defining and culminating moment in the history of missile defense. Such a moment will only be eclipsed with a future actual usage of the system for the purpose for which it is intended - destroying a ballistic missile aimed at the United States of America. The path to the September victory, from the earliest beginnings of missile defense theory and nascent practice, to the technological marvel represented by the "hitting a bullet with a bullet" flight test has been a rocky one ... The need for an anti-missile system originated during World War II with the success of Germany's short range ballistic missiles against London and Antwerp. The threat posed by longer range missiles became a reality in the 1950s with the development of accurate guidance systems and nuclear warheads. The necessity to combat these lethal, distance-ranging missiles gave birth to anti-ballistic missile research and development programs.
Book Synopsis Missile Defense 2020 by : Thomas Karako
Download or read book Missile Defense 2020 written by Thomas Karako and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In policy pronouncements over the last two administrations, the protection of the American homeland was regularly identified as the first priority of U.S. missile defense efforts. Homeland missile defense today is provided by the Ground-based Midcourse Defense program and other elements of the larger Ballistic Missile Defense System. The limited defenses fielded today have advanced considerably since limited defensive operations began in late 2004, but nevertheless they remain too limited and too modest relative to emerging threats. The Missile Defense Agency’s path to improve the system may require additional effort to stay ahead of even limited missile threats. This report explains how the current system works, as well as current and potential plans to modernize the system, and the authors offer recommendations for future evolution of the system.
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Seize the high ground is a] narrative history of the Army's aerospace experience from the 1950s to the present. The focus is on ballistic missile defense, from the early NIKE-HERCULES missile program through the SAFEGUARD acquisition site allowed by the 1972 ABM Treaty to the more advanced 'Star Wars' concepts studies toward the end of the century. [What is] covered is not only the technological response to the threat but the organizational and tactical development of the commands and units responsible for the defense mission"--CMH website.

Book Synopsis Defending America by : Michael E. O'Hanlon
Download or read book Defending America written by Michael E. O'Hanlon and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004-05-13 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arms control and missile defense are once again at the forefront of the American national security agenda. Not surprisingly, the debate has broken down along well-worn lines. Arms control advocates dismiss the idea of missile defense as a dangerous and costly folly. Missile defense advocates argue that the U.S. should move aggressively to defend itself against missile attack. With clear and lively prose free of partisan rhetoric, Defending America provides reliable, factual analysis of the missile defense debate. Written for a general audience, it assesses the current and likely future missile threat to the United States, examines relevant technologies, and suggests how America's friends and foes would react to a decision to build a national missile defense. Lindsay and O'Hanlon reject calls for large-scale systems as well as proposals to do nothing, instead arguing for a limited national missile defense.
Book Synopsis Making Sense of Ballistic Missile Defense by : National Research Council
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 National Missile Defense - Your Army Protecting Our Homeland by :
Download or read book National Missile Defense - Your Army Protecting Our Homeland written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Next summer, our nation's leadership will make a critical defense decision that will affect our defense posture well into the next millennium. After fifty years of research and development of ballistic missiles and missile defense systems, and many aborted attempts to field systems designed to provide a limited missile defense for the homeland, our nation's leadership will decide whether or not to deploy a national missile defense (NMD) system to meet the growing threat to the homeland from ballistic missile attack. If the President decides to deploy, a limited NMD system with ground-based elements manned by the Army could be operational in 2005. A historical perspective. The defense of the United States is and always has been a soldier's most sacred responsibility. From the beginning, in 1775, the U.S. Army has played a pivotal role in the defense of the homeland. In 1794 the U.S. Congress charged the Army to build and staff coastal defense forts. As the threat changed from big-gunned ships to bomb-laden aircraft, the Army changed the focus of its defense from coastal forts to antiaircraft installations around American cities. In World War II, advances in missile technology allowed the threat to surpass existing defensive capabilities.

Book Synopsis Missile Defense by : Brian J. Disinger
Download or read book Missile Defense written by Brian J. Disinger and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the announcement of the National Security Presidential Directive-23, the United States was committed to produce a set of initial missile defense capabilities by 2004. This was achieved. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is charged with developing and deploying a layered Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) in capability blocks to defend the U.S. homeland, deployed forces, friends, and allies. The MDA in concert with USSTRATCOM developed a Warrior Involvement Process (WIP) to give Geographical Combatant Commanders a venue to make known their needs and capability desires. The Department of Defense established the Missile Defense Executive Board to provide executive oversight of BMDS development, acquisition, and procurement. This study examines the current developmental processes and recommends that DoD institute a single development process that includes participation from DoD, Military Services, MDA, USSTRATCOM, and Combatant Commands. Furthermore, research suggests that including allies in the development process would unify the protection stance world-wide. In addition, it would save U.S. costs, and send a clear message to nations seeking to proliferate ballistic missiles.

Download or read book A Missile Defense for All written by Thomas H. Trumps and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now, more than sixteen years after the creation of the Strategic Defense Initiative, the United States finds itself at a critical crossroads in determining how best to defend the homeland and deployed military forces against ballistic missile attack. The Department of Defense, and more specifically the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO), appears prepared to make the difficult developmental and fielding decisions concerning the Missile Defense systems of the future. These systems will provide both the needed protection to deployed U.S. military forces and a limited defense to the United States well into and beyond the next decade. BMDO must not squander away its opportunity and responsibility to choose those Theater and Air Missile Defense and National Missile Defense systems that will produce the best defense while eliminating costly missile defense programs that show little hope of success. These are important times for Missile Defense.
