Crisis stability indices for adaptive two-layer defenses
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5991821
This note derives a simple, approximate model that contains most of the features needed to understand the variation of crisis stability indices with defenses. Boost-phase defenses are subtractive; midcourse defenses are preferential and adaptive. Defenses protect some retaliatory missiles, but not enough to retaliate strongly. Missile restrikes penetrate poorly, so most of the first and second strikes are carried by aircraft, which makes discussion of factors that might reduce their pre-launch survivability important. 22 refs., 19 figs.
