Japan's Missile Defense
<p>For some years, Japan has pursued its own missile defense system in cooperation with the United States. The Japanese government claims that the missile defense (JMD) program is purely defensive and will not pose a threat to other countries. JMD may seem justified by North Korea's development of …

Ballistic Missile Defense: A History and Reevaluation of Missile Defense in the United States
… United States to develop and deploy ballistic missile defense are nothing new. Under the context of Mutually Assured Destruction and the Cold War, a "limited” missile defense was proposed. Given technological and political shortfalls, the deployment of a "limited” missile defense was delayed …

Conformal Microstrip GPS Antenna for Missile Application
<p> Optimal missile guidance and flight performance require accurate and continuously updated in-flight coordinate data. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is used for this positional awareness. However, due to missile rotation and orientation variations during flight, GPS signal reception using …

Energy management for a multiple-pulse missile
… of the thrust and lift control histories for missiles. The first problem considered is that of determining the thrust history which maximizes the range of a continuously-variable (non-pulsed) thrust rocket in horizontal lifting flight. The optimal control solution for this problem is …

Computer modeling of captive-carry missile simulator experiments
… diversity and sophistication of anti-ship cruise missiles around the world in the past thirty years have led to sophisticated countermeasures. The Naval Research Laboratory has developed hardware in the loop (HIL) missile simulator technology to assess the effectiveness of electronic attack (EA) …

Wind-generatd missile impact on composite wall systems
Testing and evaluation of wind generated missiles and their effects on waU systems has expanded over the last thirty years. The testing has investigated a broad spectrum of impact scenarios and created a database of impact data. To continue the development and understanding of wind generated missUe …

Can NATO's Missile Defence System Protect Bulgarian Territory?
<p>NATO is building a missile defence system to defend European territory and populations against the growing threat of ballistic missiles. In May 2012, the system achieved interim capability, which officials claim can currently defend Bulgaria's entire territory. This study investigates these …

Energy-turns analysis for a scramjet powered missile
… energy and heading angle dynamics of a scramjet missile is developed using a singular perturbation technique. The cruise analysis is briefly reviewed to determine the conditions at which the missile will cruise most efficiently. The turn and climb performance of the missile over the conditions of …

Missile allocation models for the attack of defended targets
… models presented here are for the allocation of missiles to defended targets with a fixed force of imperfect defense missiles. The attackers will be directed first at the defense sites then at the targets themselves. The imperfect defenders are used against the attackers on a onefor- one basis as …
