Evolutionary Guidance for Multiple Missiles

A new approach to guiding a swarm of missiles using an on-line evolutionary algorithm to optimise the flight paths is introduced. The missiles are flown via intermediate points which are adjusted dynamically by the evolutionary algorithm, then towards the point of impact with the target, thus altering the trajectory shape. Evolutionary algorithms are robust global optimisation techniques and ar...

Missiles for Asia? The Need for Operational Analysis of U.S. Theater Ballistic Missiles in the Pacific

The finding that Russia is in violation of its obligations under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty has raised doubts about its durability. If the treaty cannot be revived, the United States could choose to add conventional land-based theater ballistic missiles to its arsenal. The U.S. Army should start a rigorous assessment of the potential military value and potential strategic risk...

Bombs and Missiles: Reinforcers for the Few

The current arms race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union is examined from an applied behavioral perspective. After identifying those behaviors that define the "arms race" two variables are examined that are plausibly related to chang~s in those behaviors, money and the so-called threat from the Soviet Union. An examination of a variety of published sources suggests that (a) weapons producers...
