The Medium Extended Air Defense System by Robert J. Engelhardt,Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.) Pdf

The Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) is the only theater missile defense system being developed within NATO to defend forward-deployed maneuver forces and NATO territory from theater ballistic missile attack. To gain the extra funding needed to keep this expensive TMD system alive, and to improve its reputation for reliability in Alliance weapon programs, the United States convinced NATO Europe that MEADS would be the model for triggering a "renaissance in armaments cooperation." To NATO Europe, however, MEADS became a litmus test of America's credibility as a future armaments partner. MEADs' european partners threatened to end armaments cooperation and pursue a policy of European self-sufficiency, which might undermine NATO's cohesion, if MEADS should fail because of U.S. political and bureaucratic interests. This thesis examines U.S. and European decision-making concerning whether MEADS becomes the model for future trans-Atlantic armaments cooperation or the impetus for fragmenting NATO cohesion. It concludes that the West's common strategic interest in maintaining stability on the European continent and in countering the increasing menace from the proliferation of WMD and ballistic missiles will prevent a failed MEADS from threatening the near-term viability of the fifty year old trans-Atlantic alliance.

2019 Missile Defense Review by Department Of Defense Pdf

2019 Missile Defense Review - January 2019 According to a senior administration official, a number of new technologies are highlighted in the report. The review looks at "the comprehensive environment the United States faces, and our allies and partners face. It does posture forces to be prepared for capabilities that currently exist and that we anticipate in the future." The report calls for major investments from both new technologies and existing systems. This is a very important and insightful report because many of the cost assessments for these technologies in the past, which concluded they were too expensive, are no longer applicable. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy).

The HAWK Air Defense Missile System by Marc Romanych,Jacqueline Scott Pdf

This is the first history of the legendary US Army's HAWK missile system, the world's first mobile air-defense missile system, which saw service and combat around the world. Designed to counteract the threat posed by advanced 1950s Soviet-built aircraft, the first HAWK unit became operational in 1959. At its peak, it saw frontline service in the Far East, Panama, Europe, and in the Middle East. Units were also used during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam War, and Persian Gulf War. In the hands of other nations, HAWK proved its efficacy in combat during the Arab-Israeli Wars, Iran-Iraq War, Chadian-Libyan War, and the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Credited with shooting down more than 100 aircraft during its combat career, the HAWK system was respected for its lethality. Such was Soviet concern, that the USSR developed electronic jammers, anti-radiation missiles, and other countermeasures specifically to degrade its effectiveness. The US retired its HAWK systems soon after the Cold War ended in 1991 when air defense priorities shifted from aircraft to ballistic missile defense, yet a modernized version of the system remains in service to this day in many nations. Packed with archive photos and original artwork, this is the first book about the HAWK system. Featuring research from HAWK technical and field manuals, interviews with HAWK veterans, and detailing the authors' personal experiences with HAWK missile units, it provides a comprehensive study of one of the most lethal and effective air missile systems of all time.

Technology and the American Way of War Since 1945 by Thomas G. Mahnken Pdf

No nation in recent history has placed greater emphasis on the role of technology in planning and waging war than the United States. In World War II the wholesale mobilization of American science and technology culminated in the detonation of the atomic bomb. Competition with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, combined with the U.S. Navy's culture of distributed command and the rapid growth of information technology, spawned the concept of network-centric warfare. And America's post-Cold War conflicts in Iraq, the former Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan have highlighted America's edge. From the atom bomb to the spy satellites of the Cold War, the strategic limitations of the Vietnam War, and the technological triumphs of the Gulf war, Thomas G. Mahnken follows the development and integration of new technologies into the military and emphasizes their influence on the organization, mission, and culture of the armed services. In some cases, advancements in technology have forced different branches of the military to develop competing or superior weaponry, but more often than not the armed services have molded technology to suit their own purposes, remaining resilient in the face of technological challenges. Mahnken concludes with an examination of the reemergence of the traditional American way of war, which uses massive force to engage the enemy. Tying together six decades of debate concerning U.S. military affairs, he discusses how the armed forces might exploit the unique opportunities of the information revolution in the future.

Seize the High Ground by James A. Walker,Lewis Bernstein,Sharon Lang Pdf

"[Seize the high ground is a] narrative history of the Army's aerospace experience from the 1950s to the present. The focus is on ballistic missile defense, from the early NIKE-HERCULES missile program through the SAFEGUARD acquisition site allowed by the 1972 ABM Treaty to the more advanced 'Star Wars' concepts studies toward the end of the century. [What is] covered is not only the technological response to the threat but the organizational and tactical development of the commands and units responsible for the defense mission"--CMH website.
