520 "The Committee on an Assessment of Concepts and Systems
for U.S. Boost-Phase Missile Defense in Comparison to
Other Alternatives set forth to provide an assessment of
the feasibility, practicality, and affordability of U.S.
boost-phase missile defense compared with that of the U.S.
non-boost missile defense when countering short-, medium-,
and intermediate-range ballistic missile threats from
rogue states to deployed forces of the United States and
its allies and defending the territory of the United
States against limited ballistic missile attack. To
provide a context for this analysis of present and
proposed U.S. boost-phase and non-boost missile defense
concepts and systems, the committee considered the
following to be the missions for ballistic missile defense
(BMD): protecting of the U.S. homeland against nuclear
weapons and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD); or
conventional ballistic missile attacks; protection of U.S.
forces, including military bases, logistics, command and
control facilities, and deployed forces, including
military bases, logistics, and command and control
facilities. They also considered deployed forces
themselves in theaters of operation against ballistic
missile attacks armed with WMD or conventional munitions,
and protection of U.S. allies, partners, and host nations
against ballistic-missile-delivered WMD and conventional
weapons. Consistent with U.S. policy and the congressional
tasking, the committee conducted its analysis on the basis
that it is not a mission of U.S. BMD systems to defend
against large-scale deliberate nuclear attacks by Russia
or China. Making Sense of Ballistic Missile Defense: An
Assessment of Concepts and Systems for U.S. Boost-Phase
Missile Defense in Comparison to Other Alternatives
suggests that great care should be taken by the U.S. in
ensuring that negotiations on space agreements not
adversely impact missile defense effectiveness. This
report also explains in further detail the findings of the
committee, makes recommendations, and sets guidelines for
the future of ballistic missile defense research."--
