2 Boost-Phase, Mid-Course, and Reentry Phases of Ballistic Missile Flight Slide 2
3 Boost-Phase, Mid-Course, and Reentry Phases of Ballistic Missile Flight Location of Objects Shown Every 20 Seconds q =22.55 degrees 0 V 0=7.177, , and 7.21 km/s Altitude (Kilometers) Altitudes Where ICBM is in Powered Flight (200 to 300 seconds) Altitudes Where Reentry Effects May Be Observable (60 to 90 seconds) Range (Kilometers) Slide 3
4 Mid-Course Missile Defense Issues and Concepts Slide 4
5 Ground-Based Interceptor and Raytheon and Boeing Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicles Kill Vehicle Length 55 inches Diameter 23 inches Weight 121 pounds Silicon Focal Plane Array Raytheon EKV EKV Angular Resolution Roughly 150 to 300 microradians. This means that the resolution of the EKV against objects at 1000 kilometers range is between 150 and 300 meters, and even at 10 kilometers range, the resolution will be roughly 1.5 to 3 meters. At 100 kilometers it will be 15 to 30 meters. Mercury Cadmium Telluride Focal Plane Array Boeing EKV Silicon Focal Plane Array Slide 5
6 Launch from North Korea, China, or Russia to US Followed by Intercept (10 to 13 km/sec Closing Speed) Shemya Track Initiation (150+ Seconds) Intercept Point Interceptor Launched Initial Clear Acquisition Initial Shemya Acquisition Slide 6

9 Some Photos of Objects that Could Appear Like Warheads Chinese Space-Balloon Launched in 1990 for Upper Atmospheric Satellite Drag Measurements Slide 9
10 atement Indicating that Top Management of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization Knew About Discrimination Problems Identified in the IFT-1A Experiment "So the decoy is not going to look exactly like what we expected. It presents a problem for the system that we didn't expect," Statement of Lieutenant General Ronald Kadish, Director of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, while being filmed by 60 Minutes II after learning that the 2.2 meter balloon misdeployed (did not inflate properly) during the IFT-5 experiment Slide 10
11 Constraints on Kill Vehicle Divert Capability and Field-of-View During Discrimination and Homing Decoy Lateral Divert Velocity Kill Vehicle to Get 10 km Spread Maximum Lateral Divert 20 Minutes After ICBM Launch = 8.4 m/s (19 mph) 15 Seconds Prior to Flyby 60 seconds to Flyby = 440 km 10 km 15 seconds to Flyby = 110 km Early time discrimination is essential for successful homing Kill Vehicle has limited divert capability Kill Vehicle has limited sensor field-of-view Many seconds of data needed for target ID Only small number of objects are simultaneously viewable at short range 15 seconds prior to flyby ª 110 to 200 km range 60 seconds prior to flyby ª 440 to 800 km range Censored data from 1721 to 1751 seconds and 1768 to 1784 seconds Kill Vehicle Field of View 15 Seconds Prior to Flyby Slide 11
12 Why the Discrimination Requirement on the EKV is Critical to Overall Performance of the System Slide 12
13 Even if the Radar Were to Succeed at Discrimination, the Radar Track Data Would Still Need to Be Sufficiently Accurate for Successful Handover to the Kill Vehicle Radar May, or May NOT, be Able to Tell Warhead from Decoys? Even if Radar Can Succeed at Discrimination, the Radar Track Data Must Be Sufficiently Accurate for Handover to the Kill Vehicle Slide 13
14 Why the Kill Vehicle Must Identify the Lethal Object Without Help From the Radar Slide 14
15 Rigging of the Test Program to Avoid the Simplest of the Baseline Threats Scintillating Stripes Removed Scintillating Stripes Removed Scintillating Targets Removed from Test Program Strongly Scintillating Tumbling Warhead Slide 15
16 Rigging of the Test Program to Avoid the Simplest of the Baseline Threats The Highest Priority National Missile Defense Threats All Properly Included Tumbling Warheads, Including Tumbling Warheads Accompanied by Decoys Yet the Missile Defense Test Program Was Carefully Designed to Reach Deployment While Avoiding Tests Against Tumbling Warheads with Decoys Slide 16
