Anti-air missile systems : able to cope with an increasingly sophisticated threat? / Keith Jacobs - 2006
Anti-ship missiles are becoming more sophisticated, are faster (Mach 3 or more) and have reduced radar signatures. Countering such a threat requires a variety of responses - a single system is unlikely to be adequate. Explains the US approach of integrating air and sea borne radar to identify and locate threats, then looks at close in weapons such as PHALANX, and close-in counter missiles such as SEA SPARROW and discusses their limitations (especially time given that an incoming missile traveling at 3000 feet per second) and multiple incoming missiles on the same track. Concludes with a look at likely future counter missile systems such as directed energy weapons.
