Author Description

"This collection of articles and research encompasses most of the aspects of defense against ballistic missiles. These range from systems intended to destroy the attacking misile at the boost phase (BPI), such as the Israeli IBIS (Israeli Boost Intercept System) "MOAB" project and the airborne laser (ABL); through systems designed to intercept the missile in mid-trajectory outside the atmosphere (such as the US Army THAAD); to endo-atmospheric interception, close to the target, such as the Israeli Arrow."--Foreword
