Ground-Based Intercept of a Ballistic Missile

Abstract

This creative investigation outlines the design and simulation of a Ground-Based Intercept of a Ballistic Missile. The components that made up the simulation were: An Infrared Sensor, Ground-Based Search and Track Radar, Battle Manager and Exo-atmospheric Kill Vehicle. It also identifies the managerial aspects of how a project design and simulation started from the initial plan to the end product, providing a baseline for future projects to follow.
