Abstract

Joint defensive projects could increase stability and decrease the alert rates of strategic forces. Areas include the defense of the US, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and their allies against third world threats; protection against each other`s accidental or unauthorized launches; and defense against intentional attacks. The most promising area appears to be defining interfaces for the handover of satellite warning and trajectory information, which applies to most phases of theater defense and mutual protection. 19 refs.

Defending the Homeland: Growing Foreign Challenges to the U.S. Missile Defense Posture

Technical Report

The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) for Policy requested that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory conduct a Congressionally directed study on homeland missile defense, pursuant to Section 1692 of the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. In accordance with the statutory language, this study considers whether the security benefits obtained by deployment of homeland missile defenses of the United States are undermined or counterbalanced by adverse reactions of potential adversaries, and considers the effectiveness of homeland missile defense efforts of the United States to deter the development of ballistic missiles. Almost a half-century has elapsed since the Unitedmore »« less

Active defenses: Status and issues

Technical Report Canavan, G

Active defenses should logically be an integral part of future US force structures. In the near term they can defend US expeditionary forces, friends, and Allies. In the mid-term they will address accidental and unauthorized launch threats that already exist due to the missile forces of the Former Soviet Union/Republics and those evolving from the possession of missiles and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by third-world countries. In the long term they could support the integration of strategic offensive and defensive forces to address the more deliberate attacks that might evolve on that time scale. Throughout, they could support measuresmore »« less

Strategic defense requirements for progressive applications

Technical Report Canavan, G; Browne, J

A companion paper discusses various applications for which strategic defense concepts could be used. The applications form a progression in size and complexity from accidental or unauthorized launches, through third country or subnational threats, to limited or strategic exchanges. This report attempts to quantify the requirements for meeting those applications and to assess the maturity of current strategic defense concepts relative to them, concluding that there are adequate interceptors for all of them, but that sensitivities to uncertainties in discrimination are awkward at all levels and bothersome at the high end. Strategic defenses are applicable to a progression of threatsmore »« less
