Research on deployment method of early warning detection ship in ballistic missile defense operation

Abstract

In order to give full play to the maneuverability of sea-based ballistic missile defense force and expand the level of sea-based ballistic missile defense, this paper studies the deployment of early warning and detection ship in ballistic missile defense operations, and establishes the radar detection model of early warning and detection ship from the aspects of ballistic missile movement characteristics, radar detection power and visual range limitation. Taking medium-range ballistic missiles with a range of 500 km-5 500 km as an example, three trajectory forms of minimum energy trajectory, low launch trajectory and high launch trajectory are distinguished, and the detection capability of the early warning detection ship against the incoming ballistic missile under different deployment positions is simulated and analyzed. Based on this, the corresponding deployment method of early warning detection ship is given. The conclusions obtained can provide reference for the force deployment in sea-based ballistic missile defense operations.
