This is a working draft: comments and suggestions are welcome. Introduction Air power remains the arm of choice for Western policymakers contemplating humanitarian military intervention. Although the early 1990s witnessed ground forces deployed to northern Iraq, Somalia, and Haiti to protect civilians and ensure the provision of humanitarian aid, interveners soon embraced air power for humanitarian contingencies. In Bosnia, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO’s) success in combining air power with local ground forces to coerce the Serbs to the negotiating table at Dayton in 1995 suggested air power could help provide an effective response to humanitarian crises that minimized the risks of armed intervention.1 And though NATO’s

  • Extended-Range Scud
    Flashback to the Past: North Korea’s “New” Extended-Range Scud By Markus Schiller1 and Robert H. Schmucker2 November 8, 2016 Summary At 12:14 p.m. on September 5, 2016, North Korea launched three missiles within one minute of each other from a highway south of Pyongyang. All three launches were successful; the missiles reportedly each covered a distance of 1,000 km and landed about 240 km west of Okushirito Island, part of the Japanese prefecture of Hokkaido. The tests marked the first public demonstration of this missile, but the weapon itself is not new. Rumors surfaced more than 15 years ago that North Korea possessed this missile, and strong indications exist that it was part of a massive transfer of Soviet technology and know-how to the DPRK in the 1990s. 1 Dr.-Ing.

    MDAA Region Brief: Europe Summer 2016 Addressing the Air and Ballistic Missile Threat to Europe: Cooperating in a Shifting Strategic Environment Introduction Next month’s Warsaw Summit could prove to be one of the most consequential for the alliance since the end of the Cold War as leaders from member states convene to discuss a myriad of threats. NATO Summits are convened on an ad-hoc basis, as required by the evolving political and security situation. In recent years, summit locations have held some thematic significance. This year’s summit in Warsaw is indicative of the increasing threat the alliance faces from the east, particularly in regards to the air challenge. The proliferation of ballistic missile technology also continues to demand the attention of NATO members. In May of this year, two key milestones were achieved in the deployment of European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) capabilities, the plan put in place by the Obama Administration to protect Europe from a ballistic missile attack originating from Iran. On May 12 Phase II of the EPAA, the Aegis Ashore site in Deveselu, Romania, was deemed operationally certified. The following day on May 13, a groundbreaking ceremony took place for Phase III of the EPAA, an Aegis Ashore site in Redzikowo, Poland. When the work in Poland is complete, Phase 3 will provide the necessary capabilities to provide ballistic missile defense coverage of all NATO European territory and populations in the 2018 timeframe against intermediate-range ballistic missiles. Defending the air above NATO member states also remains a challenge, particularly from an increasingly modern Russian military.

  • An Overview of North Korea's Ballistic Missiles
    An Overview of North Korea’s Ballistic Missiles Introduction The DPRK acquired its first advanced missile system, the Soviet Scud B, from Egypt in the 1970’s in exchange for its support during the Yom Kippur War. 1 The DPRK, long accused by the US government of being “the single biggest proliferator of missile technology,”2 rose to prominence in the global arms market during the 1980’s. 3 As with other nations, North Korea derives much of its missile development from the technology and hardware of more advanced nations, including the Soviet Union between 1969 and 1970, and China in the late 1970’s. 4 Since then the DPRK has developed several advanced missile systems and has an extensive list of customers. Ballistic missile sales were thought to account for North Korea’s largest source of foreign exchange in the mid-1990’s. 5 The DPRK is a key participant in the scud missile trade, a network of countries which reproduce Soviet Scud technology and also develop and sell their own indigenous versions. 6 Laws, the Moratorium and UN Resolution 1695 Currently, there is no legally binding international framework for prohibiting or restricting the sale of ballistic missiles or the related technology. In the absence of such a legal framework, the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), a multinational association formed in 1987 to control the proliferation of ballistic missile systems, establishes and coordinates export control guidelines and national export licenses on ballistic missile and other technologies. 7 Thirty-four countries have joined this voluntary regime. As of 2007, the DPRK is not a member; similar to other prominent non-members such as China and Pakistan, it is significantly involved in the weapons industry.
