Adaptive preferential employment of interceptors in |
|
midcourse ballistic missile defense is considered. The |
|
defense discriminates decoys, with such discrimination |
|
characterized by a K factor, and determines optimal |
|
intercepts and salvo structure in shoot look shoot |
|
scenarios. The attacker's strategy to determine proper |
|
allocation of warheads to targets of varying value in the |
|
presence of a defense is also described. Representative |
|
results are presented for the effectiveness of the |
|
preferential midcourse defense by itself and in |
|
conjunction with a random subtractive boost/deployment |
|
phase defense tier. Quality of discrimination is by far |
|
the strongest determinant of performance; the ability to |
|
perform a shoot look shoot is also important. Inventory |
|
requirements for midcourse and boost phase defenses are |
|
determined for missions in which target value saved is |
|
the goal, for representative defense parameters. Based on |
|
these results, the midcourse tier appears to be a |
|
necessary component of a cost effective defense. |
