Theater Ballistic Missile Defense from the Sea: Issues for the Maritime Component Commander.

Abstract

Naval Theater Ballistic Missile Defense (NTBMD) will offer joint power projection forces robust TBMD capability by 2005. However, such defensive power projected from the sea is power projected from a unique and complex arena, where combat takes place in three competing environments which by their very nature cause conflicting tasking of limited assets. The tremendous promise of NTBMD must therefore be studied with this inherent operational complexity in mind. Naval Theater Ballistic Missile Defense can only realize its full potential if the Maritime Component Commander understands and addresses the key issues involved in its operational employment.
