Abstract:
A mobile ballistic missile detection and defense system, comprising:a. a nonland based missile launch detection system configured to detect a missile launch and output a launch signal indicative of a detected missile launch; b. a nonland based missile tracking system configured to receive a launch signal from said launch detection system, track a missile in flight, and output a tracking signal indicative of the trajectory of a missile in flight; c. a ship; d. a signal processing system configured to receive said tracking signal, calculate a nonaligned intercept trajectory for an antiballistic missile to intercept a missile having a trajectory as described by said tracking signal, and further output a nonaligned intercept trajectory program to an antiballistic missile; and e. an antiballistic missile located on said ship, said antiballistic missile comprising a guidance system configured to receive the nonaligned intercept trajectory program from said signal processing system and guide the antiballistic missile along the nonaligned intercept trajectory.
