Adaptive preferential defense and discrimination

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6727729

This report discusses adaptive defenses, their properties and sensitivities, and how their effectiveness varies with the size and structure of the threat. For projected midcourse interceptors and sensors, adaptive defenses are optimal; they dominate preferential attacks. Their suppressed sensitivity to decoys is used to derive optimal allocations of resources between boost and midcourse. 9 refs., 20 figs.
