New Counter-Counter Measure (CCM) techniques are proposed for Missile Defense (MD) which can provide discrimination of balloons and possibly other decoys in the presence of a Re-entry Vehicle (RV). This will be accomplished by the utilization of new advanced materials and concepts manufacturing and depolyment technologies unique to General Sciences, Inc. (GSI). It is expected that this effort wi ...

Advanced counter measure threats envisioned to be deployed against midcourse missile defense weapon systems creates a problem in discriminating between the real threat and decoys. A need exists to effectively discriminate and/or eliminate the decoys from the vicinity so the real threat can be neutralized. Developing a weapon system that removes decoys and allows easier discrimination requires a ...

The key to enable timely assessments of emerging technologies is the ability to rapidly simulate the essential characteristics and capabilities of the new technology advanced in a full weapon system setting. Our focus is a simulation that can quickly be configured to incorporate a variety of new seeker/discrimination technologies and evaluate their effectiveness. The concept incorporates a "plug a ...

A new hybrid model will be developed under this Phase II effort predicting the propagation of transient bursts at high-altitudes that can be used to design and evaluate flux-based discrimination concepts. The hybrid model has 3D continuum (CRAFT CFD® Code), DSMC (DAC97 Code), and free molecular components and performs the complete analysis from burst source to farfield, interfacing solutions alon ...

The innovation for this Phase I program is the development of advanced high-fidelity techniques for the analysis of moving transient plumes at high altitudes, accounting for their distortion and trajectory changes due to interactions with the surrounding atmosphere, as well as procedures for performing detailed 6DOF analyses of aerodynamic bodies traversing through such moving plumes. Transient pl ...

Davidson Technolotgies Inc. has proposed a task to develop and assess an algorithm to provide discrimination of encapsulating balloons, a serious potential countermeasures. Available literature suggests that precommit discrimination is not feasible due to the long range from sensor to target and limited angle resolution of precommit sensors, where this techniques will examine post-commit discrimi ...

Stratonics proposes to develop active mid course ballistic missile discrimination techniques which rely on the interaction of the clutter with an artificially produced plume. At altitudes of 140 miles the interaction will be free molecular. At lower altitudes the interaction will be dominated by continuum physics. Precise understanding of this interaction will allow for the midcourse discrimina ...

"This effort proposes a new and innovative approach to defeating discrimination countermeasures. The suggested approach utilizes High Power Microwave (HPM) devices to counter a variety of discrimination threats. The concept leverages the Multiple MiniatureKill Vehicle (MMKV) concept as a means of deployment for small High Power Microwave (HPM) short pulse (impulse) emitters. Traditionally, HPMs ...
