This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this thesis is to investigate the requirements and limitations of boost phase ballistic missile intercept systems that contain interceptor and its guidance sensors (both radar and infrared). A three- dimensional computer model is developed for a multi-stage target with a boost phase acceleration profile that depends on total mass, propellant mass and the specific impulse in the gravity field. The radar cross-section and infrared radiation of the target structure are estimated as a function of the flight profile. The interceptor is a multi-stage missile that uses fused target location data provided by two ground-based radar sensors and two low earth orbit infrared sensors. Interceptor requirements and limitations are derived as a function of its initial position from the target launch point and the launch delay. Sensor requirements are also examined as a function of the signal-to- noise ration during the target flight. Electronic attack considerations within the boost phase are also addressed including the use of decoys and noise jamming techniques. The significance of this investigation is that the system components within a complex boost phase intercept scenario can be quantified and requirement for the sensors can be numerically derived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive exploration of hypersonic technology, focusing on its growing significance in modern warfare. It is structured into five parts, each addressing a different aspect of hypersonic weapons. Part I lays the foundation, explaining the definition, types, and characteristics of hypersonic weapons, such as glide vehicles and cruise missiles. It covers the physics of hypersonic flight, the challenges posed by extreme speeds, and the materials needed to withstand such conditions. A detailed analysis of propulsion systems like scramjets and ramjets highlights future innovations in this field. In Part II, the book delves into the development and testing of hypersonic weapons. It explores their evolution, from Cold War-era experiments to modern programs led by the U.S., Russia, and China. Testing facilities and challenges associated with high-speed flight, such as wind tunnels and simulation tools, are discussed in depth. Part III addresses the military and strategic implications of hypersonic weapons. It emphasizes their offensive capabilities, the difficulty of defending against them, and their role in global power dynamics. The global arms race is examined, with a focus on how hypersonic weapons fit into national defence strategies, and the delicate balance between conventional and nuclear systems is considered. Part IV outlines the technical challenges and countermeasures to hypersonic weapons, including detection and interception difficulties. International collaboration on missile defence and the ethical and legal concerns surrounding these weapons are also explored. Finally, Part V looks to the future, discussing emerging technologies, the potential for space-based hypersonic platforms, and the changing nature of warfare in a hypersonic age. The book concludes with insights into the future challenges and opportunities presented by hypersonic weapons in global security.

This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gulf War illustrated how important ballistic missile defenses have become to the United States. The study of intercepting Theatre Ballistic Missiles (TBMs) in their boost phase was prompted by concerns about the widespread dissemination of submunitions and the differentiation of decoys from actual warheads released early in the missile's midcourse flight. Boost Phase Intercept (BPI) would alleviate this problem by destroying the enemy's ballistic missile in the missile's launch phase, thereby causing the lethal payload and debris from the engagement to fall back on the aggressor. This thesis focuses on the development of missile tracking algorithms to be used in the boost phase of TBMs. A missile encounters significant changes in velocity, acceleration, and direction during the boost phase, making it difficult to track. Extended Kalman filter (EKF), Alpha-Beta-Gamma filter, and Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) filtering techniques are developed to determine the missile tracking accuracy of TBMs during boost phase. Simulation results and actual TBM profiles from test data are presented to verify the tracking accuracy utilizing different filtering techniques.

Book Synopsis China's Nuclear Force Modernization by : Naval War College Press
Download or read book China's Nuclear Force Modernization written by Naval War College Press and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-08-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Naval War College has expanded its expertise in the Asia-Pacific Rim region in recent years largely in response to the growing significance of the region to U.S. national security. The College has actively hired prominent scholars and hosted a number of conferences, workshops, and guest speakers focusing on the problems and possibilities facing the Pacific Rim. South and Northeast Asia, after all, are home to some of the world's fastest-growing economies and close American allies, as well as several potential political and diplomatic flashpoints. Even more to the point, China is an ascending economic and military power both in the region and on the world stage. The U.S. Navy plays a leading role in maintaining stability in the region with its strong presence and ability to guard the freedom of navigation in vital sea lines of communication. The efforts of the Asia-Pacific Rim specialists at the Naval War College in some ways represent a case of “back to the future.” One of the proudest episodes in the College's history came in the 1930s when Newport played a central role in developing the military plans necessary to cope with the ascendance of another Asian economic and military power—Japan. Although we expect that wise diplomacy and national self-interest will prevent a reoccurrence of similar difficulties in the coming decades, there is no substitute for military preparedness and well-thought-out international and regional strategies for dealing with the important region. The Naval War College Press has done its part in providing its readers with many excellent articles on regional security in Asia in the Naval War College Review; an important book—Jonathan Pollack, editor, Strategic Surprise? U.S.-China Relations in the Early Twenty-first Century (released March 2004); and now Newport Paper 22. Professor Lyle Goldstein of the Strategic Research Department of the College's Center for Naval Warfare Studies has been at the forefront of recent research into China's future. In this project he has guided a handful of naval officers through the puzzle of China's ongoing nuclear modernization programs. With the able assistance of Andrew Erickson, these sailor-scholars have examined various aspects of nuclear modernization from ballistic missile defense to nuclear command and control. In general the chapter tells a cautionary tale; the progress of China's nuclear modernization documented here should give pause to those inclined to dismiss China's military modernization. Steadily and with relatively little attention the People's Republic continues to improve its technologies and weapons systems. As the authors emphasize, no “Rubicon” has been crossed, but potentials are already apparent that, if realized, the U.S. Navy as now constituted would find challenging indeed.
Book Synopsis Kill Vehicle Effectiveness for Boost Phase Interception of Ballistic Missiles by : Florios Bardanis
Download or read book Kill Vehicle Effectiveness for Boost Phase Interception of Ballistic Missiles written by Florios Bardanis and published by . This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boost phase interception of ballistic missiles is envisioned as the primary response of the layered defense architecture implemented in the ballistic missile defense system. A limited time frame in which to take action and the necessity to implement hit-to-kill technology in the kill vehicle counterbalances the many advantages of boost phase interception. Direct hit missile technology is constrained by the requirement to minimize miss distance to a negligible amount between the kill vehicle and optimum aim point on the target. This thesis examines kill vehicle effectiveness, which is tantamount to miss distance, as a function of both the kill vehicle maximum acceleration capability and the guidance system time constant necessary to destroy a target. The kill vehicle guidance system is modeled in MATLAB as a fifth-order binomial series with proportional navigation. The simulation examines the effect of an accelerating target attributed to powered flight and aim point displacement caused by a shift in tracking point from the target plume to the payload when resolution occurs. The kill vehicle minimum requirements as indicated by the simulation include a lateral acceleration capability of four times the target acceleration and a guidance system time constant that is less than one-tenth the estimated flight time.

This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM), the DF-21D, has reached the equivalent of Initial Operational Capability. Although it probably has been deployed in small numbers, additional challenges and tests remain. This study examines the ASBM’s capability and history, showing how the DF-21D meets multiple priorities in Chinese defense modernization and in the national security bureaucracy, as well its implications for the United States. The ASBM’s physical threat to U.S. Navy ships will be determined by the development of associated systems and organizations, which currently limit data fusion and coordination in the complex task of identifying a U.S. aircraft carrier in the open ocean. Still, the ASBM poses a direct threat to the foundations of U.S. power project in Asia and will undermine the U.S. position, unless efforts to counter its political-military effects are taken.
