ANTIMISSILE WARFARE.

Abstract

The booklet presents a brief and systematic discussion of the basic information available on the missile weapons of the main capitalistic countries, the technical possibilities of intercepting missiles in flight, and also on the means and methods of antimissile operations. In simple and popular form the author acquaints the reader with the state of military missiles in foreign lands and the prospects of their development. He defines the aims and tasks of antimissile operations, gives information on the scientific and technological solution of the problem of missile interception, and explains the role played in this connection by radioelectronics and complex automated control systems. The booklet discusses methods based on recent scientific and technical achievements which are now applied in solving the problem of missile destruction. It contains a brief analysis of these methods and examines some basic trends directed toward improving them. All the factual material in this booklet is derived from unclassified foreign publications. The booklet is intended for a large circle of military readers and for those who have not had special training in the field of missile armament. (Author)
