TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — China test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile into the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday, stirring security concerns in the region already tense over Beijing's territorial claims and rivalry with the U.S. The ICBM carried a dummy warhead and fell int...
Ballistic missile defense is a defensive capability to defend populations and territories against ballistic missile attacks, typically from rogue nations or terrorist organizations. Extensive systems have been established by NATO for the early warning detection and identification of potentially destructive long...
A non-SSBN variant of the mothership might be able to discreetly move close to or even inside a target area and then use the drone submarines to carry out tasks ranging from intelligence-gathering to non-kinetic and kinetic attacks. Surrogat-Vs, or other smaller UUVs, could help scout out...
non-lethal ballistic missile with light marking the impact zoneProjectile luminescent marker of the impact area, consisting of a hollow cylindrical body (1), which includes one or more suitable inertial masses (2) to move at the time of acceleration, positive or negative, which implies a ...
Last, 11% of the cases were seen in the context of nonpowdered gun injury (airgun or BB gun). Missile emboli Results concerning the entry vessel are shown in Table II. Missile emboli were most frequently the result of venous injury (56%), followed by arterial injury (27%) and cardiac...
Originally developed at Johns Hopkins university for use in flyer plate impact experiments, the measurement system has been enhanced for the continuous, non-contact measurement of projectile displacement during ballistic impact events. A sheet of laser light is progressively blocked and unblocked by the...
point A to point B without scattering. The nature of the transport, whether wavelike or particle-like, whether phase coherent or Newtonian, is not specified. In the less technical sense the “ballistic” electron refers to the “billiard model” in the sense of a ballistic missile or ...
The shape of the projectile seems to determine the effect of a ballistic impact and failure mechanism. In this study, the numerical analysis of ballistic impact with different projectile shapes, i.e ., ogive, blunt, conical, and hemispherical is performe
Tracking a ballistic missile in its reentry phase is one of the missile defence challenges as these reentry vehicles penetrate with large aerodynamic loads and sudden decelerations from exoatmospheric to endoatmospheric phase. With the advent of anti-ballistic missiles, the main goal of missile ...
A land target must be countered by means of a warhead 1 comprising a lining 10 generating splinter so that the latter is positioned obliquely to the inside of the warhead 1 and that the location of the ignition 18 is placed in the vicinity of the rear wall 4 of the warhead 1....
