Physics Colloquium, December 2, 2003Boost-Phase Intercept Systems for National Missile DefenseDaniel KleppnerMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyIn a boost-phase intercept system, a hostile missile is disabled while it is still accelerating, before it could deploy multiple warheads or decoys. I shall report on the analysis of boost-phase intercept systems carried out by a study group sponsored by the American Physics Society. The study considers defense by kinetic interceptors launched from land, sea, air and space, as well as defense by the Airborne Laser. 3.30 p.m., Smith Laboratory, Room 1005Refreshments served in Smith 1094 at 3:00 p.m. |
