Ballistic Missile Defense Glossary BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE GLOSSARY VERSION 3.0 JUNE 1997 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE ORGANIZATION 7100 DEFENSE PENTAGON WASHINGTON, DC 20301-7100 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS PURPOSE The purpose of this glossary is to facilitate a common language within the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) and the ballistic missile defense community. This glossary supplements other existing Department of Defense (DoD) publications. SCOPE This glossary is not an official DoD publication; it is limited to terminology that relates to ballistic missile defense. A number of computer, software, and engineering terms are included, especially those applicable to BMD. In addition, numerous acquisition terms are included in light of BMDO’s ongoing transition to a more acquisition-oriented agency. Many entries are taken from the DoD 5000-series of directives, the DoD program objective memorandums, the Joint Staff Glossary (Joint Pub 1-02), and the Defense Systems Management College Glossary. A number of outdated or seldom-used terms are also included for historical relevance, though obsolete terms are denoted. WORLD WIDE WEB The BMDO Glossary can be found on the BMDO World Wide Web home page at http://www.acq.osd.mil/bmdo/bmdolink/html/ FORMAT All entries are listed in alphabetical order, including acronyms (which are cross-referenced with their corresponding definition). General terms are defined in a BMD context where appropriate. In cases where a term has more than one BMD-related meaning, multiple definitions are given. Wherever possible, organizational changes occurring since publication of the October 1995 BMDO Glossary are incorporated. Please note that abbreviations and acronyms listed herein are capitalized for ease of reference. This does not imply that they are capitalized in general usage. BMDO/SRE wishes to thank those whose efforts and support contributed to the timeliness and relevance of this revision. BMDO Glossary, ver. 3.0 supersedes the BMDO Glossary dated October 1995.

A thin layer of the object's surface violently and rapidly boils off; the resulting vapor suddenly exerts pressure against the surface, generating a pressure wave at the surface. This shock wave then propagates through the material and can cause melting, vaporization, spallation, and structural failure of the object. ABM See Anti-Ballistic Missile.

  • The Celestial Mechanics of Newton
    GENERAL I ARTICLE The Celestial Mechanics of Newton Dipankar Bhattacharya Newton's law of universal gravitation laid the physical foundation of celestial mechanics. This article reviews the steps towards the law of gravi­ tation, and highlights some applications to celes­ tial mechanics found in Newton's Principia. 1. Introduction Newton's Principia consists of three books; the third Dipankar Bhattacharya is at the Astrophysics Group dealing with the The System of the World puts forth of the Raman Research Newton's views on celestial mechanics. This third book Institute. His research is indeed the heart of Newton's "natural philosophy" interests cover all types of which draws heavily on the mathematical results derived cosmic explosions and in the first two books. Here he systematises his math­ their remnants. ematical findings and confronts them against a variety of observed phenomena culminating in a powerful and compelling development of the universal law of gravita­ tion. Newton lived in an era of exciting developments in Nat­ ural Philosophy. Some three decades before his birth J 0- hannes Kepler had announced his first two laws of plan­ etary motion (AD 1609), to be followed by the third law after a decade (AD 1619). These were empirical laws derived from accurate astronomical observations, and stirred the imagination of philosophers regarding their underlying cause. Mechanics of terrestrial bodies was also being developed around this time. Galileo's experiments were conducted in the early 17th century leading to the discovery of the Keywords laws of free fall and projectile motion. Galileo's Dialogue Celestial mechanics, astronomy, about the system of the world was published in 1632.

Letter from the COPS Office January 2009 Dear Colleague: This second edition of Law Enforcement Intelligence: A Guide for State, Local, and Tribal Law Enforcement captures the vast changes that have occurred in the 4 years since the first edition of the guide was published in 2004 after the watershed events of September 11, 2001. At that time, there was no Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Information-Sharing Environment, or Fusion Centers. Since the advent of these new agencies to help fight the war on terror, emphasis has been placed on cooperation and on sharing information among local, state, tribal, and federal agencies.

  • Classical Particle Trajectories‡
    1 Variational approach to a theory of CLASSICAL PARTICLE TRAJECTORIES ‡ Introduction. The problem central to the classical mechanics of a particle is usually construed to be to discover the function x(t) that describes—relative to an inertial Cartesian reference frame—the positions assumed by the particle at successive times t. This is the problem addressed by Newton, according to whom our analytical task is to discover the solution of the differential equation d2x(t) m = F (x(t)) dt2 that conforms to prescribed initial data x(0) = x0, x˙ (0) = v0. Here I explore an alternative approach to the same physical problem, which we cleave into two parts: we look first for the trajectory traced by the particle, and then—as a separate exercise—for its rate of progress along that trajectory. The discussion will cast new light on (among other things) an important but frequently misinterpreted variational principle, and upon a curious relationship between the “motion of particles” and the “motion of photons”—the one being, when you think about it, hardly more abstract than the other. ‡ The following material is based upon notes from a Reed College Physics Seminar “Geometrical Mechanics: Remarks commemorative of Heinrich Hertz” that was presented February . 2 Classical trajectories 1. “Transit time” in 1-dimensional mechanics. To describe (relative to an inertial frame) the 1-dimensional motion of a mass point m we were taught by Newton to write mx¨ = F (x) − d If F (x) is “conservative” F (x)= dx U(x) (which in the 1-dimensional case is automatic) then, by a familiar line of argument, ≡ 1 2 ˙ E 2 mx˙ + U(x) is conserved: E =0 Therefore the speed of the particle when at x can be described 2 − v(x)= m E U(x) (1) and is determined (see the Figure 1) by the “local depth E − U(x) of the potential lake.” Several useful conclusions are immediate.

Watts Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments March 2007 ABOUT THE CENTER FOR STRATEGIC AND BUDGETARY ASSESSMENTS The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) is an independent, nonprofit, public policy research institute established to make clear the inextricable link between near-term and long- range military planning and defense investment strategies. CSBA is directed by Dr. Andrew F. Krepinevich and funded by foundations, corporations, government, and individual grants and contributions. This report is one in a series of CSBA analyses on the emerging military revolution. Previous reports in this series include The Military-Technical Revolution: A Preliminary Assessment (2002), Meeting the Anti-Access and Area-Denial Challenge (2003), and The Revolution in War (2004). The first of these, on the military-technical revolution, reproduces the 1992 Pentagon assessment that precipitated the 1990s debate in the United States and abroad over revolutions in military affairs. Many friends and professional colleagues, both within CSBA and outside the Center, have contributed to this report. Those who made the most substantial improvements to the final manuscript are acknowledged below.
