About this ebook
Missile Defense offers a comprehensive look into the world of missile defense systems, examining their history, technology, and strategic implications. It traces the evolution of these systems from their Cold War origins, highlighting key developments like the ABM Treaty and subsequent withdrawal. Readers will gain insights into the complex interplay between offensive and defensive capabilities, understanding how these technologies impact national security and international relations. The book emphasizes that missile defense systems are not infallible shields but complex tools contributing to strategic stability.
The book progresses systematically, first introducing fundamental concepts like ballistic missile trajectories and radar technology, before delving into specific systems such as the Patriot Missile System, Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, and Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD). It provides a balanced assessment of their design, operational capabilities, and deployment strategies, utilizing technical manuals, government reports, and real-world test data.
A unique aspect of the book is its holistic approach, integrating technical analysis with strategic and political considerations, making it valuable for military professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and national defense.
