Cognitive Concepts LLC (CC) is a small business that specializes in software reliability engineering. In the past several years CC has become convinced that the best available practice for software reliability on complex systems is model-based specification and testing (MST). CC completed a small business innovative research project with the Missile Defense Agency in 2004 in which the goal was to demonstrate the feasibility and value of applying MST on some aspect of the National Missile Defense (NMD). ...

An inportant problem in strategic missile defense is discrimination between decoys and reentry vehicles. During midcourse flight, a ground-based HPM directed energy system could distinguishably modify (by a physical damage mechanism) the radar signature of decoys. A very large ground-based ...

One of the arguments of the Bush administration for the early deployment of a ballistic missile defence system was not only that this would provide some limited defensive capability, but also that it would facilitate ‘learning by doing’. In practice, however, this ‘capability-based’ deployment has failed to facilitate such technological advancement. Instead of enabling the improvement of the technology, early deployment, coupled with a series of flight-test failures, has led to a shift towards less ...
