The politics of innovative military doctrine : the U.S. Navy and fleet ballistic missiles
The Polaris and Trident II SLBM weapon systems were developed by the U.S. Navy during periods of major strategic nuclear modernization, when national leaders were concerned about the vulnerability of U.S. Air Force land based nuclear forces to Soviet attack. Both Navy systems provided a superior …

The Asymmetric Challenge: The Effects of Proliferation of Man-Portable Guided Missiles on Global Security
Man-portable guided missiles (MANPADS) pose a unique challenge to global security. These weapons are designed to be lightweight and transportable by individuals. MANPADS are shoulder-launched weapons that are designed to shoot down aircraft. Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM) systems are designed to …

Missiles & misconceptions : why we know more about the dark side of the Moon than the depths of the ocean
Tens of billions of dollars are spent on manned and unmanned missions probing deeper into space, while 95% of Earth's oceans remain unexplored. The more intensive focus on space exploration is a historically recent phenomenon. For millennia until the mid-20th century, space and ocean exploration …

Proportional navigation target tracking
Motivated by the fact that anti-ship missiles present a serious threat to today's Navy, a tracking filter which will give superior tracking and trajectory extrapolation when tracking anti-ship missiles is desired. Because most anti-ship missiles use proportional navigation in their guidance …

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 …
