ANTI-BALLISTIC MISSILE (ABM) DEFENSE AIR JAMMERS ON DEPLOYMENT BALLISTIC UPPER STAGES (BUS)

IN PHASE I THE STUDY WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEPLOYING AN ECM SYSTEM ON AN ICBM BUS TO JAM AN ABM RADAR. THE CRITICAL ITEMS TO FEASIBILITY ARE THE DEFINITION OF APPROPRIATE OFFENSE-DEFENSE SCENARIOS AND THE TAILORING OF REENTRY VEHICLE AND BUS TRAJECTORIES. COMBINATIONS OF ANTENNA DESIGNS AND TRANSMITTER POWERS WILL BE DETERMINED FOR APPLICATION TO A MMIII BUS DEPLOYING BALLISTIC AND MANEURVERING REENTRY VEHICLES WITH AND WITHOUT PEN AIDS. AN INITIAL PACKAGING STUDY WILL BE PERFORMED FOR A BASELINE CONCEPT. THE PENETRATION EFFECTIVENESS OF BUS/ECM WILL BE DETERMINED AND COMPARED WITH ALTERNATIVE PENETRATION TECHNIQUES. A PHASE II HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT AND TEST PROGRAM PLAN WILL BE PREPARED. FOWLER-MULLIN ASSOCIATES WILL BE SUPPORTED BY GE AS CONSULTANTS FOR MMIII DESIGN DATA AND HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT PLANNING.
