This book was released on 2002 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the Department of Defense, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) (formerly the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization) is responsible for developing and testing the Ballistic Missile Defense System There are three segments currently under development: Boost Phase Defense, Midcourse Defense, and Terminal Defense. An element of the Midcourse Defense Segment is the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), formerly known as the National Missile Defense (NMD). The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and technology of long-range missiles is increasing the threat to our national security. The GMD is designed to protect all 50 States of the United States against limited ballistic missile attack by intercepting long-range ballistic missiles during the midcourse (ballistic) phase of their flight, before their reentry into the earth's atmosphere. The MDA completed the NMD Deployment Environmental Impact Statement in July 2000 to support a future deployment decision. The Secretary of Defense has not yet made a decision to deploy the GMD. However, the need has been identified to gain a higher level of confidence in GMD's capabilities through tests under realistic operational conditions. Validation of the operational concept (VOC) through ground testing of the GMD is a vital part of operationally realistic testing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 as amended (42 U.S. Code USC 4321 et seq.) the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations CFR 1500-1508) Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 4715.9 Environmental Planning and Analysis, and the applicable Service environmental regulations that implement these laws and regulations direct DoD officials to consider environmental consequences when authorizing and approving federal actions. Accordingly this EIS examines the potential for impacts to the environment as a result of the proposed construction operation and test activities associated with the proposed Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Extended Test Range (ETR). Under this Proposed Action additional test facilities including the Sea-Based Test X-Band Radar (SBX) test equipment infrastructure and communications links would be constructed and operated for the purpose of providing more realistic GMD flight testing in the North Pacific Region. Existing range facilities would be enhanced and additional launch and support sites would be established to support more robust missile flight tests.

This book was released on 2013-01-28 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee on an Assessment of Concepts and Systems for U.S. Boost-Phase Missile Defense in Comparison to Other Alternatives set forth to provide an assessment of the feasibility, practicality, and affordability of U.S. boost-phase missile defense compared with that of the U.S. non-boost missile defense when countering short-, medium-, and intermediate-range ballistic missile threats from rogue states to deployed forces of the United States and its allies and defending the territory of the United States against limited ballistic missile attack. To provide a context for this analysis of present and proposed U.S. boost-phase and non-boost missile defense concepts and systems, the committee considered the following to be the missions for ballistic missile defense (BMD): protecting of the U.S. homeland against nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD); or conventional ballistic missile attacks; protection of U.S. forces, including military bases, logistics, command and control facilities, and deployed forces, including military bases, logistics, and command and control facilities. They also considered deployed forces themselves in theaters of operation against ballistic missile attacks armed with WMD or conventional munitions, and protection of U.S. allies, partners, and host nations against ballistic-missile-delivered WMD and conventional weapons. Consistent with U.S. policy and the congressional tasking, the committee conducted its analysis on the basis that it is not a mission of U.S. BMD systems to defend against large-scale deliberate nuclear attacks by Russia or China. Making Sense of Ballistic Missile Defense: An Assessment of Concepts and Systems for U.S. Boost-Phase Missile Defense in Comparison to Other Alternatives suggests that great care should be taken by the U.S. in ensuring that negotiations on space agreements not adversely impact missile defense effectiveness. This report also explains in further detail the findings of the committee, makes recommendations, and sets guidelines for the future of ballistic missile defense research.
