This paper will demonstrate that by leveraging advanced photometric processing algorithms developed for the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) mission, ExoAnalytic and AGI have proven the capability to provide actionable SSA intelligence for satellite operators from small telescopes in less than optimal viewing conditions. Space has become an increasingly cluttered environment requiring satellite ...

This essay offers a broad view of active defense derived from the concept of active air and missile defense. This view admits a range of cyber defenses, many of which are widely deployed and considered essential in today’s threat environment. Instead of equating active defense to hacking back, this wider interpretation lends itself to distinguishing different types of active defense and the leg...

Given the agreement among TCSCF, MP2, and MRMP methods, it is concluded that the structure of Si9H12 is symmetric, that dynamic correlation does not play a major role in determining the structure, and that DFT incorrectly predicts Si9H12 to be buckled.

The development of modern air defense missile systems requires robust simulations to adequately place margins on hardware and software design. Coupled with this is the need to accurately model surface reflections that constitute clutter to the missile system. A thorough understanding of these reflections is becoming increasingly important as the air defense threat evolves from large, high-altit...

Ballistic missiles and Anti-Satellite (ASAT) weapons operate using similar technological means but not with the same level of technology or engineering maturity. ASATs require a more sophisticated systems engineering and integration requirements to be able to adapt to the challenges posed by an ASAT intercept. The main difficulty arises from the requirements for detection in space and the high ...
