An opportunistic array is an integrated ship-wide digital phased-array radar, where antenna elements are placed at available open areas over the entire shipâ s length. Such an array has the potential to fulfill many of the Navyâ s missions, including ballistic missile defence (BMD) where the radar mission encompasses exo-atmospheric surveillance, tracking and preliminary discrimination. Advantages of opportunistic arrays include enhanced stealth â since low-profile antennas reduce the shipâ...

Topic: Ballistic missiles
In recent military conflicts, ballistic missiles have been used to achieve military and psychological objectives. With the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), the growing threat of ballistic missiles being used as a delivery platform for WMD by rogue nations or militant groups becomes a concern for many countries. Defense against such threats becomes increasingly important. There are different guidance laws for the missile interception of aerial targets. These include pursuit,...

This thesis examines the potential destabilizing implications of conventional prompt global strike capabilities that operate from or through space. Existing material on this subject is largely limited to debates over the merits of terrestrial verses space basing and arguments against deployment over perceived increases in the likelihood of inadvertent nuclear war. This thesis addresses these issues, but takes the next step and analyzes the root causes and proposes possible solutions to the...

This study reports an analysis of the aerodynamic performance characteristics of an SA-2 type missile conducted using empirical codes. The Missile and Space Intelligence Center (MSIC) supplied the missile geometry, which was incorporated into the MissileLab interface. The study evolved based on the geometry changes MSIC recommended. Results obtained using Missile DATCOM versions 7/07 and 8/08 are compared along with performance data provided by the project sponsor. These data varied from...

A near-optimal guidance law has been developed using the direct method of calculus of variations that maximizes the kinetic energy transfer from a surface-launched missile upon interception to a ballistic missile target during the boost phase of flight. Mathematical models of a North Korean Taep'o-dong II (TD-2) medium-range ballistic missile and a Raytheon Standard Missile 6 (SM-6) interceptor are used to demonstrate the guidance lawâ s performance. This law will utilize the SM-6â s onboard...

We describe major enhancements to the missile defense planning aid \"JOINT DEFENDER\" (JDEF). JDEF is the first system that shows how to evaluate and exploit new and anticipated improvements in interceptors, long-range surveillance and tracking capabilities, networked communications, and the ability of detecting platforms to cue intercepting ones downrange. We want to improve system-wide effectiveness, gauged here by the reduction of expected damage inflicted. We defend an asset list...

Recent studies suggest that China is developing a new class of ballistic missiles that can be used against moving targets, such as ships. One such technology is anticipated to cover a range of 2,000 kilometers and operate at a speed of Mach 10. The threat is also capable of maneuvering both during the midcourse and terminal flight phases for the purposes of guidance, target acquisition, and countermeasures. This threat could greatly impact the current concept of operations of U.S. Navy ships...

This thesis proposes a hybrid, large-scale wireless sensor network (WSN) designed to support real-time target detection and tracking of multiple ballistic missile threats. In particular, the proposed WSN consists of terrestrial as well as satellite nodes. The IR signatures presented by the target-background combination are explored and modern IR sensor technologies are examined in search of a suitable IR sensor for the proposed hybrid, large-scale WSN. A multicolor, Quantum Well Infrared...

The first objective of this thesis is to investigate the effect of several forms of electronic attack (EA) on the radio frequency (RF) sensors used within a boost-phase ballistic missile intercept system. The EA types examined include noise jamming, chaff, radar cross section (RCS) reduction, and expendable decoys. Effects of the EA methods are evaluated by examining the track position error at the sensor fusion output. Sensor fusion architectures investigated include a weighted average sensor...

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...
