|
 | This thesis examined the correlation between selected parameters characteristic of an infrared-guided ant-satellite attack against a geosynchronous target. The countermeasure employed was a balloon decoy. The criteria used to evaluate the parameters was the balloon-to-target ratio, measured at the output of a seeker detector. Specific design of the seeker detector, ASAT weapon and the balloon decoy were not addressed in this study. Coplanar orbits were assumed for all vehicles, with ... |

|
 | In late 1982 and early 1983, the Subcommittee on Arms Control, Oceans, International Operations, and Environment of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations held hearings on space weapons and arms control. To explore these issues further in a discussion format not easily achieved in hearings, Sen. Larry Pressler, Chairman of the Subcommittee, asked OTA to conduct a workshop focusing on anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons as one aspect of space arms control. ... |

|
| An unclassified computer model was developed for first order evaluation of deep space Anti-satellite (ASAT) targeting error assignments. Two independent error sources are modeled. With deep space tracking accuracies on the order of kilometers, there is uncertainty in the exact target position. Errors introduced by the launch vehicle guidance system result in uncertainty in the exact position of the ASAT itself. Once the target is acquired by the ASAT sensor ... |

|
| To aid the Congress in its deliberations on the fiscal year 1984 defense budget, The General Accounting Office issued, from August 1982 through July 1983, 17 reports on selected weapon systems. Chapter 2 summarizes the potential impact of GAO's recommendations and observations. Chapter 3 categorizes and summarizes the major issues highlighted in each report. These issues could have a direct impact on the systems' efficient acquisition and/or operational effectiveness. These ... |

Robert B. Giffen; NATIONAL DEFENSE UNIV WASHINGTON DC RESEARCH DIRECTORATE
|
| This monograph propose a systematic way to reduce the vulnerability of our critical space assets. The focus is on space systems vital to the national defense, and on the survivability of these systems across the spectrum of conflict. There is a gap between popular journalism and complex technical documentation, this monograph is written to help interested but inexpert readers understand how we can defeat and, conversely, how we can protect ... |

|
| A computerized simulation model was developed as a flexible tool to aid in the design, deployment, and employment decisions regarding high energy laser weapons. Only the 'space defensive' and 'antisatellite' missions are considered. The simulation models the physical processes of laser propagation and laser effects, and it includes a 'first-order' optimization process for selection of weapons and weapon paths of maximum efficiency. It also includes a 'many-on-many' engagement model to ... |

| Studies conducted to provide the Air Force with mathematical models of probable space tactical situations are described in this report. The need for these models was established in order that the Air Force have means of guiding the logical and timely development and evaluation of nonnuclear warhead concepts. (Author) |

|
| The DOPLOC dark satellite tracking system is described and tracking results are presented. DOPLOC is a radio reflection Doppler tracking system deriving its name from the Doppler frequency phase-locked tracking filter technique used. Dark, i.e. non-radiating, satellites are illuminated by a ground-based transmitter and signals reflected from illuminated satellites are received at one or more ground-based re ceiving sites. A method has been developed for the determination of a complete ... |
