Analyzing Alternative Concepts for the Defense of NATO
Author: Milton Gershwin Weiner
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Europe
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
This paper considers three different concepts for the conventional defense of the NATO Central Region as a way of providing a perspective on the analysis of alternative defense concepts for NATO. The three defense concepts are fortified barrier, forward response, and distributed area defense. The author analyzed each of these concepts using a computer model called MASTER (Mass and Space/Time Evaluation Routine). His analysis identified military, political, and cost factors affecting the implementation and effectiveness of each of the three defense concepts.

Making Sense of Ballistic Missile Defense
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309216109
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
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.

Alternative Defence Policy
Author: Gordon Burt
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000370593
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
This book, first published in 1988, represents a unique attempt to combine a discussion of an alternative British defence policy in terms of military strategy and new technology, with a consideration of how this policy might be secure in political terms. Written against a background of a possible future Labour government in the late 1980s with a radically different defence policy to the Conservative Government of the day, it considers questions such as: Would conventional deterrence really be effective? Just what is the Labour Party’s defence policy? How precisely might Britain be transformed into a non-aligned, non-militarist state?
