Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists IT IS 5 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT Nuclear notebook Chinese nuclear forces, 2013
2016Co-Authors: Hans M. Kristensen, Robert S. NorrisAbstract:The number of weapons in ChinaÕs nuclear arsenal is slowly growing, and the capability of those weapons is also increasing.The authors estimate thatChinahas approximately 250warheads in its stockpile for delivery by nearly 150 land-based Ballistic Missiles, aircraft, and an emerging submarine fleet. China is assigning a growing portion of itswarheads to long-rangeMissiles. The authors estimate thatChinaÕs arsenal includes asmany as 60 long-range Missiles that can reach some portion of the United States. TheUS intelligence community predicts that by the mid-2020s, China could have more than 100 Missiles capable of threatening the United States

Nuclear notebook Indian nuclear forces, 2015
2016Co-Authors: Hans M. Kristensen, Robert S. NorrisAbstract:With several long-range Ballistic Missiles in development, the Indian nuclear posture is entering an important new phase. After nearly two decades of focusing on nuclear competition with Pakistan, New Delhi seems to now be paying attention to its future strategic relationship with China. India is estimated to have produce

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists IT IS 6 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT Nuclear notebook Chinese nuclear forces, 2011
2016Co-Authors: Hans M. Kristensen, Robert S. NorrisAbstract:Today, China is the only one of five original nuclear weapon states that is increasing its nuclear arsenal. According to some estimates, the country could Òmore than doubleÓ the number of warheads on Missiles that could threaten the United States by the mid-2020s. Earlier this year, China published a defense white paper, which repeated its nuclear policies of maintaining a minimum deterrent with a no-first-use pledge. Yet China has yet to definewhat itmeans by aminimumdeterrent posture. This, togetherwith the fact that it is deploying four new nuclear-capable Ballistic Missiles, invites concern as to the scale and intention of ChinaÕs nuclear upgrade. The authors estimate that China has a total inventory of approximately 240 nuclear warheads. Reviewing one of the worldÕs most opaque nuclear forces, they assess the countryÕs land-based Missiles, submarines and sea-based Missiles, and cruise Missiles

nuclear u s and soviet russian intercontinental Ballistic Missiles 1959 2008
Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists, 2009Co-Authors: Robert S. Norris, Hans M. KristensenAbstract:Recent research exposes the fallacies that helped to drive missile stockpiles to astronomical levels, making Russia’s persistently slow reduction of deployed Missiles all the more inexcusable.

flight path angle steering with lambert guidance reference
Journal of Space Science and Technology, 2010Co-Authors: R Zardashti, M BagherianAbstract:In this paper a new guidance technique for Ballistic Missiles and launch vehicles is proposed. Generally the Lambert guidance is used to generate missile nominal (correlated) parameters through powered flight to put it in a Ballistic flight path. Because of uncertainties and undesired factors, the nominal position and velocity obtained by Lambert technique need to be followed in actual flight. In this paper the Flight Path angle Steering (FPS) procedure is used to accomplish the tracking of nominal parameters. The numerical simulations indicate that the integrated procedure is a cost-effective and suitable scheme for guiding Ballistic Missiles and launch vehicles especially in design process. In spite of the simplifications made in FPS procedure, numerical simulations show that there is very little difference between the results obtained by FPS and the results obtained by Q-guidance method.

The New START Treaty: Central Limits and Key Provisions
Library of Congress. Congressional Research Service., 2017Co-Authors: Woolf, Amy F.Abstract:This report discusses the new START treaty between the U.S. and Russia that limits each countries number of Ballistic Missiles and nuclear capable bombers. This treaty came into effect on February 5, 2011 and is a replacement for the original START treaty implemented in 1991. This report covers the treaties main rules and regulations, the ratification process, compliance assessment, and issues for Congress

Conventional Prompt Global Strike and Long-Range Ballistic Missiles: Background and Issues
Library of Congress. Congressional Research Service., 2017Co-Authors: Woolf, Amy F.Abstract:This report provides an overview of the rationale for the prompt global strike (PGS) mission and the possible deployment of conventional warheads on long-range Ballistic Missiles or boost-glide systems in support of this mission. It also reviews the Air Force and Navy efforts to develop these systems, summarizes congressional reaction to these proposals, and provides a more detailed account of the issues raised by these concepts and programs
