Abstract:

This report provides an examination of the potential capabilities of ballistic missile defense systems that comply with the ABM Treaty, Methods of analyzing the effects and consequences of various doctrines for allocating interceptors are derived. Attacks by Russia, China, or third world nations are considered. Limited missile defense systems with up to 100 interceptors based at one site, given that they meet certain performance goals, could be used to counter threats envisioned in the post cold-war world.
