Missiles for Asia? The Need for Operational Analysis of U.S. Theater Ballistic Missiles in the Pacific
نویسنده
چکیده
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 risks of deploying such missiles in Asia.

متن کاملA New Guidance Method for Surface to Surface Ballistic Missiles without Mandatory Engine Cut-Off
In this paper, a new guidance method for surface to surface ballistic missiles without mandatory engine cut-off will be presented. The complexity of solid fuel engine cut-off demands a comprehensive method for guiding these missiles. In the method presented in this paper, a certain guidance law is applied such that by transmitting appropriate commands to the control system, by changing the miss...

متن کاملFlight Path Angle Steering with Lambert Guidance Reference
In this paper a new guidance technique for ballistic missiles and launch vehicles is proposed. Generally the Lambert guidance is used to generate missile nominal (correlated) parameters through powered flight to put it in a ballistic flight path. Because of uncertainties and undesired factors, the nominal position and velocity obtained by Lambert technique need to be followed in actual flight. ...
