Antiballisticmissile defense countermeasures are tactical or strategic actions taken by an attacker to overwhelm, destroy, or evade antiballisticmissile defenses. Antiballisticmissile ABM defense countermeasures can be categorized in a variety of ways, such as whether something is attacked or just confounded i.e., whether the defender is attacked, whether the defender s ABM defense is attacked, or whether the defenders ABM system is confounded . They can be categorized by the type of ABM system they are to operate against. Finally, they can be categorized by which part of a ballisticmissile s flight they are active boost, bus, midcourse, or terminal phases . Attacking Countermeasures Countermeasures Attacking the Defender The simplest countermeasure to an ABM defense is to simply increase the size of the attack. This can be done by adding more ICBM s, by increasing the number of warheads delivered by each ICBM using MIRV s, by using SLBM s which have a much shorter flight time and are thus difficult to destroy before the terminal phase , or by a heavier reliance on bombers and cruise missiles. Countermeasures Attacking the Defense These countermeasures include anti satellite weapons, space mines, and the launching of debris in identical but counter rotating orbits to a space based defense. Confounding Countermeasures Countermeasures Confounding the Defense These countermeasures include using fast burn boosters which limit the time allowed for boost phase intercept , light weight ICBM skirts which limit the infra red signature of the booster, use of decoys e.g., lightweight mylar balloons which, until re entry, will travel on an identical trajectory with the heavier warheads , use of ablative materials or reflective coatings which limit the damage of directed energy ...

Typically, range is less than convert 300 km mi . Tactical ballistic missiles are usually mobile to ensure survivability and quick deployment, as well as carrying a variety of warheads to target enemy facilities, assembly areas, artillery, and other targets behind the front lines. Warheads can include conventional high explosive, chemical, biological, or nuclear warheads. Typically tactical nuclear weapons are limited in their total yield compared to strategic rockets. Tactical ballistic missiles fill the gap between conventional rocket artillery and longer range theatre ballisticmissile s. Tactical missiles can carry heavy payloads deep behind enemy lines in comparison to rockets or tube artillery , while having better mobility and less expense than the more strategic theatre missiles. Additionally, due to their mobility, tactical missiles are better suited to responding to developments on the battlefield. For many nations, tactical missiles represent the upper limit of their land based military equipment. They can provide a powerful weapon for a very economical price, and in some cases are sought to help level the field against opponents who are clearly superior in other areas of military technology. Currently, ballisticmissile technology is relatively accessible to nations that may find other military technology beyond easy reach. Ballistic missiles are still difficult to defeat on the battlefield. Newer air defense systems have improved ability to intercept tactical missiles, but still can not reliably protect assets against ballisticmissile threats.

The only known missile of this type that was intended for operational service, the GAM 87 Skybolt , intended to be launched from B 52 Stratofortress and Avro Vulcan bombers, was in development by the United States Air Force , with the United Kingdom as a customer. In 1962, with technical difficulties and costs mounting, the program was cancelled, with the United States and the UK concentrating on the UGM 27 Polaris submarine launched ballisticmissile instead. File MMIII C5 airdrop Oct 1974 .jpg thumb right Air Mobile Feasibility Demonstration 24 October 1974 In the early 1970s, the USAF tested air launching a LGM 30 Minuteman Minuteman ICBM from a C 5 Galaxy C 5A Galaxy transport aircraft. On 24 October 1974, the Space and Missile Systems Organization successfully conducted a Air Mobile Feasibility Test where a C 5 Galaxy C 5A Galaxy aircraft air dropped the 86,000 pound missile from 20,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean. The missile descended to 8,000 feet before its rocket engine fired. The 10 second engine burn carried the missile to 20,000 feet again before it dropped into the ocean. The test proved the feasibility of launching an intercontinental ballisticmissile from the air. Operational deployment was discarded due to engineering and security difficulties, though the capability was used as a negotiating point in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks . ref U.S. Air Force, Inside the AF.MIL Heritage section http www.af.mil information heritage milestones.asp?dec 1970 1980&sd 01 01 1970&ed 12 31 1989 Thursday, January 01, 1970 Sunday, December 31, 1989 ref ref Marti and Sarigul Klijn, A Study ..., University of California, Davis, CA 95616 ref References Reflist Missile types DEFAULTSORT Air Launched BallisticMissile Category Missile types Missile stub it Missile balistico aviolanciato ms Peluru ... more details
