BMD Focus: ABM system limits

Posted by Matt in April 17th, 2008

Anti-ballistic missile interceptors can work well against rogue states, but their weakness is the cost and time it takes to make them. Skeptics and nay-sayers to the contrary, the U.S. ground-based mid-course interceptors are slowly but steadily moving towards fulfilling their mission of being able to destroy ICBMs in flight. But they will not be able to destroy more than half a dozen … read more

Uncertainty over anti-missile defence
Anti-ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons, national security, the United States, Russia - these are the key challenges to any foreign policy. And as George Bush prepares to vacate the White House, whether his missile policies go too, remains to be seen.

Nike Sprint ABM Launch
The Sprint was a nuclear-armed point defense ABM (Anti-Ballistic Missile), which was developed in the 1960s as one component of an American defense system against Soviet ICBMs. It was operational for a very short time in 1975. The cone-shaped Sprint missile was powered by a two-stage solid-propellant rocket motor. The motor ignited after the missile had been ejected from its silo by gas pressure, and accelerated the Sprint with more than 100 g. Within seconds, the missile reached a speed of Mach 10+, and the extreme thermodynamic heating demanded sophisticated ablative shielding (the nose was already glowing red-hot less than a second after launch). The Sprint was guided to the target by radio-commands from the ground control system, which used high-speed phased-array MSRs to track the...

US Anti-Missile Shield vs Russian Federation Topol-M
http://www.youtube.com/PowerRussia US Anti Missile Shield. National Missile Defense (NMD) as a generic term is a military strategy and associated systems to shield an entire country against incoming Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs). The missiles could be intercepted by other missiles, or possibly by lasers. They could be intercepted near the launch point (boost phase), during flight through space (mid-course phase), or during atmospheric descent (terminal phase). Russian Federation RT-2UTTKh «Topol-M» (Russian: РТ-2УТТХ «Тополь-М») is one of the most recent intercontinental ballistic missiles to be deployed by Russia (see RS-24), and the first to be developed after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In its Russian designation РТ stands for "ракета...

Belarus may host Russian missiles
Russian Iskander missiles could be supplied to Belarus in response to U.S. plans for a missile shield, according to Russia's Defence Ministry. A spokesman says it would also compensate for nuclear and conventional missiles destroyed as part of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with the U.S.

Anti-ballistic missile 53T6 Gazelle Test mission Launch.
http://53T6gazelle.wol.bz Anti-ballistic missile 53T6 Gazelle Test mission Launch Vehicle nov. 2004 53T6 Gazelle Moscow System The 53T6 [NATO reporting name GAZELLE] is a short-range ABM interceptor missile, which was first introduced in the mid-1980s, was designed to intercept ballistic missile reentry vehicles inside the atmosphere. The missile, which has not been displayed in public, is thought to be similar in design and mission to the US Sprint interceptor that was part of the Sentinel/Safeguard system. On 02 November 1999 Russia tested this short-range interceptor rocket for the Moscow anti-ballistic missile system, in what appeared to be a symbolic warning to the United States not to go ahead with an expanded ABM system. Specifications Russian missile designation: 53T6 Russian...
