The interception of a maneuvering antisurface missile, as in ballistic missile defense and ship defense scenarios, is formulated as an imperfect information, zero-sum, pursuit-evasion game with a state constraint imposed on the evader. Assuming that the perfect informationversion of the gamedoes not yield a successful result for the defense, the solution of this game is in mixed strategies. The...

Pasal 51 piagam PBB mengatur hak menggunakan kekuatan bersenjata untuk membela diri bagi suatu negara. Berdasarkan pasal ini, penggunaan negara adalah sah. Namun ketentuan ini dinilai kurang jelas dalam batasan pertahanan diri. Oleh karena itu, legalitas senjata sebagai juga perlu ditinjau kembali dari yang tertuang Space Treaty 1967. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui dan upaya menjaga perdamaian...

The article deals with the process of transformation outer space into a warfighting domain in 21st century. During Cold War, was place understanding and peaceful competition between superpowers. Militarization has existed since beginning Space Age, excluding weaponization until absence an international regime to prevent technological advances opens up new opportunities for states their quest in...

Aiming at the poor reliability of targets destroy for single base surface-to-air-missile weapon system, and the existing shortcomings of anti-destroying ability for missile networking system, this paper research on system level surface-to-air-missile defense system network features. On the analysis of the missile launching area boundary, the kill probability, the operational time and threat lev...

Modern China has been linked with the proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and missile weapons technology to states of proliferation concern, and its compliance with arms control and disarmament is seen as key to the effectiveness of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) nonproliferation efforts. In this context, the answer to Gerald Segal’s question, “Does China really matter?” is most definitely, ...

Boost-phase ballistic missile defense is alluring because rocket boosters are easy to detect and track, they are relatively vulnerable due to the large axial loads on a missile under powered flight, the entire payload (single or multiple warheads and midcourse penetration aids) may be destroyed in a single shot, and countermeasures to defeat boostphase defense are more difficult to devise than ...

Apparent design breakthroughs in short-range missile defense systems such as Theater High-Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) have prompted questions about the legality of such systems under the 1972 Antiballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. Prominent physicists have used computer “footprint” methodology to prove that if engineered to specifications, THAAD might exceed ABM Treaty performance limits banning ...
