Introduction

Nuclear weapons, however powerful, turn meaningless if their transportation system is nullified. A key method to detect a launch of ballistic missiles anytime anywhere is proposed in this memorandum. Two satellites observing the target area continuously take pictures of the area day and night. If a missile is launched, it can be detected by the images as bright spot from its hot propellant gas. The two images combined can detect the location of the missile.

On detection of the launched missile, discriminating it from aircrafts by its altitude or speed, a missile defense system is triggered. The defending missile is launched and keeps guided by the tracking data on the target missile so it can close into the target accurately. Detecting the mutual distance is zero the defense missile captures the offense missile.

 

1.     Instantaneous Detection of the Target Missile

Let co-ordinate of the target missile be ;@                         r = (x, y, z)

Satellite A;

Location of Satellite A ;               @                               ra = (xa, ya, za),

Location Af of the missile projected on the ground ;@              Ra = (Xa, Ya, Za)

Vector connecting A and Af ;                                                    a = ra -  Ra

 

Similar vectors for satellites B, ,,,  ; rb, Rb, b,

 

Then the position of the missile can be calculated as the crossing of the following two lines;

@@AAf  ;   ra + tE a    ( 0 < t < 1)

    BBf  ;@ rb + uE b    ( 0 < u < 1)

Set

@@@ra + tE a =  rb + uE b     

The solution;

      ta =  ( rb- ra)E{ ( a x b ) x b ) } / { (aEb)E(aEb) - (aEa)E(bEb) }

      ub =  ( ra- rb)E{ (b x a ) x a ) } / { (aEb)E(aEb) - (aEa)E(bEb) }

where aEb is the inner product and b x a is the outer product of the vectors.

Then the position of the target missile is

@@@@r =@ ra + taEa@=  rb + ubE b

 

2.     Missile Tracking System

The two satellites continuously take the images and send the data to the earth station. Based on the images the coordinate of the target missile is calculated. Thus the position of the target missile is continuously monitored by the satellites while the rocket engine emits the propellant gas.

Once the missile gets a sufficiently high altitude, it can be monitored by the terrestrial radar system. Three radar stations measure the distances and the Doppler frequency shifts of the target missile, which are collected and integrated at the missile tracking station to determine the position and velocity of the target missile.    .

The speed and the altitude of the target missile can be used to discriminate it from normal aircrafts. For example if the altitude of the target gets greater than 30 km, it is definitely not an aircraft and the missile defense system is triggered.

 

3.     Trigger Missile Defense System

The defense missile is launched based on commands from the missile tracking system. It is continuously guided by the positional data of the target missile. If the distance gets close enough, it captures the offense missile physically.

 

4.     Destruction of the target missile

If possible we want to return the offense missile back to its launcher. Otherwise, it will be destroyed in the outer space. It is required that the destruction be made at sufficiently high altitude in case a nuclear explosion should occur. At the altitude of 100km, for example, the effect of a nuclear explosion on the ground will be small.

 

Conclusion

If the missile systems are nullified, the nuclear weapons will be meaningless. The proposed system can detect, track and destroy any missiles whenever and wherever. It can be readily implemented by application of the satellites, imagery, radar, signal processing, computing and military technologies today. It is purely defensive but more powerful than any powerful nuclear weapons.

The author sincerely wishes the proposed system will be implemented promptly to maintain the peace of the world.
