nuclear weapon states under the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) but as out of the blue attack from unexpected and illegitimate (?) rogue countries. Instead of Anti Ballistic Missile (ABM) of earlier days or more sophisticated and nuclear pumped SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative), smaller, more ...
No data encryption, no antivirus programs, no multifactor authentication mechanisms, and 28-year-old unpatched vulnerabilities are just some of the cyber-security failings described in a security audit of the US' ballistic missile system released on Friday by the US Department of Defense Inspector...
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...
For the first time, a medium-range ballistic missile was intercepted by Israel’s Arrow system as it plummeted towards its target in low earth orbit.
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 ...
The natural inquisitiveness and vulnerability of early life predispose children to penetrating injury; varying in severity from a minor laceration or foreign body penetration to life-threatening impalement, stab wound, or missile injury. Ballistic injuri
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
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...
The ABM debate of the late l960s ultimately terminated on a note of non-acceptance, largely due to technical deficiencies and domestic political resistance. Furthermore, it was not clear that competing with the Soviet Union in this highly expensive arena would necessarily lead to a position of ...
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 ...
