	Ballistic missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In order to cover large distances, ballistic missiles are usually launched very high into the air or in space, in a sub-orbital spaceflight; for intercontinental missiles the altitude halfway is ca.
		The first ballistic missile was the V-2 rocket, developed by Nazi Germany in the 1940s, which was successfully launched for the first time on October 3, 1942 and used for the first time in operation on September 8, 1944.
		Long and medium range ballistic missiles are generally designed to deliver nuclear warheads because their payload is too limited for conventional explosives to be efficient.

	Tactical ballistic missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tactical ballistic missiles are usually mobile to ensure survivability and quick deployment, as well as carrying a variety of warheads to target enemy facilities, assembly areas, artillery, and other targets behind the front lines.
		Tactical ballistic missiles fill the gap between conventional rocket artillery and longer-range theatre ballistic missiles.
		Ballistic missiles are still difficult to defeat on the battlefield.

		Missiles were used in the 1973 Arab-Israeli Yom Kippur war; by Libya against a US installation on the Italian island of Lampedusa in 1986; in the 1987-88 Iraq-Iran war; the Gulf war in 1991; the Afghan and Yemen civil wars in the mid-90s and most recently by the Russians in Chechnya.
		An estimated 38 countries possess ballistic missiles of one type or another, most of the short-range theatre ballistic missile (TBM) type, but also including long-range systems such as Trident and Minuteman that are the basis of the nuclear powers’ strategic deterrents.
		A ballistic missile is virtually identical to a space rocket, except that it returns its payload to Earth instead of into orbit.

	17. The ABM Treaty and theatre ballistic missile defence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Ballistic missile defence (BMD) reappeared on the arms control agenda in 1993: at issue was the Clinton Administration's proposal to permit the testing and deployment of new advanced-capability theatre missile defence (TMD), or anti-tactical ballistic missile (ATBM), systems designed to defend US allies and US armed forces operating overseas.
		However, the threshold between strategic and theatre ballistic missiles is not technically clear-cut and the characteristics of strategic and non-strategic defences overlap.
		The ability of the USA and Russia to cooperate in the development of theatre anti-missile technologies would be a good test of the validity of their `strategic partnership'.

	NATO Press Release (2005)036 - 16 March 2005
		The importance of being able to defend deployed troops against theatre-range ballistic missiles, such as SCUD missiles, was made apparent during the 1990s.
		As a number of foreign nations continue working on ballistic missile programmes, as well as developing chemical, nuclear, and biological warheads for those missiles, the need for effective defences has increased.
		The launch of the TMD program is the result of a decade of work by NATO in the theatre missile defence area, and provided to the Alliance a new collective capability for common defence.

		The eventual influence of modern theater ballistic missile defense technology on a treaty involving strategic defense and signed nearly a quarter-century ago is being hotly debated, but naval TBMD active defense development is continuing apace, and an initial degree of NTW capability should be available by 2005.
		If the limited naval ballistic missile defense capability initially available is likely to be overmatched at the outset of a fight by sheer numbers of hostile missiles, then that capability must be used both effectively and efficiently.
		The importance of that turnover from component to component, of the transition from afloat to ashore, is at the heart of theater ballistic missile defense, properly conceived.

	Army Technology - Arrow 2 Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence System
		The Arrow 2 theatre ballistic missile defence system has been developed by the MLM Division of Israel Aircraft Industries and is in operation with the Israeli Defence Forces.
		The missile uses an initial burn to carry out a vertical hot launch from the container and a secondary burn to sustain the missile's trajectory towards the target at a maximum speed of Mach 9, or 2.5km/s.
		The dual mode missile seeker has a passive infrared seeker for the acquisition and tracking of tactical ballistic missiles and an active radar seeker used to home on air breathing targets at low altitudes.

	Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System is a US Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency program to develop a "rudimentary" missile defense system, covering the US, by 2005.
		A SM-3 missile with Lightweight Exo-Atmospheric Projectile (LEAP) Kinetic Warhead (KW) is developed.
		Three tests, conducted in 2002, were considered successful; a June 19, 2003 test (conducted in the Pacific, using an SM-3) was considered to be a failure.

	Arms Control And Ballistic Missile Defence In The Post-Cold War
		First, a ballistic missile still in its boost phase has not yet burned up all of its fuel and is very vulnerable to destruction.
		It is clear that as long as leaders such as Saddam Hussein seek to acquire the ability to marry weapons of mass destruction with ballistic missile technology, and as long as regional tensions exist, the potential for instability leading to violent conflict is high enough to demand attention.
		Throughout the better part of the Cold War the United States was concerned that deployment of missile defense systems with the ability to defend either population centers or hard targets, such as missile silos, would antagonize the USSR and lead to the destabilization of the delicate strategic balance that was emerging between the two powers.

	Space without Weapons: Ballistic Missile Defence and the Weaponisation of Space (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Missile threat, in its contemporary meaning, principally refers to the deadly combination of nuclear, chemical or biological warheads, so-called "weapons of mass destruction", with ballistic missiles of ever-increasing accuracy and range.
		Missile defence deployment, especially coupled with doctrines of preemption and preventive war, may provoke asymmetric and anti-satellite attacks, leading to an offence-defence spiral, as other countries are put under pressure to develop technologies that are not currently being pursued.
		Depending on a missile's launch point and trajectory and the intercept phase and mode, any warhead that was not completely destroyed and incinerated might rain devastating contaminants onto populations which "happened to live along the flight path of the incoming missile", creating a deadly radioactive or pathogenic debris field.

		An Intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, is a long-range missiles using a ballistic trajectory involving a significant ascent and descent, including suborbital and partial orbital trajectories.
		An ICBM differs little technically from other ballistic missiles such as the IRBM, SRBM or newly named theatre ballistic missile; they are differentiated by way of maximum range.
		ICBMs are based either in missile silos, which offer some protection from military attack (including, the designers hope, some protection from a nuclear first strike), or on submarines or rail cars, which are mobile and therefore hard to find.

	Ballistic threat
		However, the upper portion of the missile is replaced with a third stage rocket motor (TSRM), a new GPS-based guidance section, and a kinetic warhead.
		The ballistic missile threat is not limited to the United States, in fact many countries are at a greater national risk because of their proximity to rogue nations with ballistic missiles.
		As rogue nations develop ballistic missiles with increasing ranges many more countries will become potential targets – Japan and Taiwan are already within range of existing systems, while much of Europe will be at risk in the very near future.

	The Space-Based Visible Program: Ballistic-Missile and Theater-Missile Data Collection
		The principal objective of this mission was to gather on-orbit infrared, ultraviolet, and visible-band data during the deployment of various reentry-vehicle decoys, balloons, and replicas for studies in discrimination.
		The balloons are the bright objects to the lower right of the PBV, with the remaining deployed hardware consisting of light reentry-vehicle replicas and a 20-cm fl reference sphere (which is located to the left of the center of the large gap in the hardware formation and is fairly faint).
		During the first ten months after the launch of the MSX satellite, the SBV sensor was used to gather metric and photometric data on both ballistic-missile and theater-missile deployments, as well as on RSOs for space surveillance.

	Theatre Ballistic Missile Defense-Multisensor Fusion, Targeting and Tracking Techniques - Storming Media
		The study of intercepting Theatre Ballistic Missiles (TBMs) in their boost phase was prompted by concerns about the widespread dissemination of submunitions and the differentiation of decoys from actual warheads released early in the missile's midcourse flight.
		Boost Phase Intercept (BPI) would alleviate this problem by destroying the enemy's ballistic missile in the missile's launch phase, thereby causing the lethal payload and debris from the engagement to fall back on the aggressor.
		This thesis focuses on the development of missile tracking algorithms to be used in the boost phase of TBMs.

	Disarmament Diplomacy: - US Ballistic Missile Defence: A French View (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In France, the debate concerning Ballistic Missile Defences (BMD) started out all the more heated because it was initially highly theoretical, launching the kind of abstract discussion most of the French enjoy.
		The purpose of this amendment was to underline the necessity of thinking about missile defences and ballistic missile proliferation together, something the Tokyo Forum Report had already strongly emphasized in July 1999.
		To be fair, serious analysis concerning ways and means of improving the ballistic missile proliferation control regime is still lacking in France, even if such improvements would be consistent with the French concept that ballistic missile proliferation is an essential part of the problem.
