Abstract In modern warfare, precision guided munitions have become one of the major equipment to attack and hit enemy’s crucial value targets. addition, they are critical targets missile defense anti-aircraft interceptor system varying countries during interception destruction, world has increased investment in defense. Therefore, penetration countermeasures capacities missiles holds key victor...

After a long vacancy, the nation's top science job may be filled by fall. President George W. Bush last week chose John H. Marburger III, a 60-year-old physicist, former university president, and current national lab chief, as his nominee for the post. Marburger vows to bring scientific rigor to the Administration's decisions but warns that he will be just one of many voices offering advice on ...

Sensor provisioning is the problem of determining the number of sensors required to accomplish a complicated system level task, e.g. tracking or discriminating between N targets. It is a central problem in missile defense radar systems where the number of targets can easily exceed the number of radars. Here we present a method for conservative sensor provisioning that guarantees a prescribed le...

Since the Gulf war, defense missile systems against tactical ballistic missiles have been highlighted and the author also have published some studies. Recently some studies also have appeared, however, it seems that the threat of anti-surface-missiles (ASMs) to current ground sites and its countermeasures have not been sufficiently studied to date. A typical medium or long range surface-to-air ...

The purpose of this paper is to propose a solution methodology for a missile defense problem involving the sequential allocation of defensive resources over a series of engagements. The problem is cast as a dynamic programming/Markovian decision problem, which is computationally intractable by exact methods because of its large number of states and its complex modeling issues. We have employed ...

Based on the characteristics of radar noise jamming and equation, maximum operating range formula under condition is analyzed by using logarithmic method, burn-through distance shield self-defense solved taking examples, effect compared analyzed.

The construction of a high-assurance system requires some evidence, ideally a proof, that the system as implemented will behave as required. Direct proofs of implementations do not scale up well as systems become more complex and therefore are of limited value. In recent years, refinement-based approaches have been investigated as a means to manage the complexity inherent in the verification pr...
