PDFICBM becomes a single-component, first-order decom-position model, perhaps the most common type (Wied-er and Lang 1982) MODEL PARAMETERIZATION We used data from a 35-yr field experiment in Swe-den (Parton et al 1983, Paustian et al 1992, Kirchmann et al 1994, Persson and Kirchmann 1994, Hyvo¨nen et al 1996) to initially parameterize the model (Fig

Taille du fichier : 2MBPDFWe know that an ICBM follows an elliptical path starting from its launch point until impact This trajectory lies essentially in a plane defined by the launch and impact points and the earth center Neglecting all air friction, we can apply the conservation of energy law and angular momentum conservation to get the two equalities- + − = − and- = Here the v r and v θ are the velocity
PDFICBM proponents offer several rationales for retaining a large ICBM fleet Some argue that any Russian first strike would have to include attacks on all US ICBMs, which would serve as a “sponge” to soak up Russian warheads and leave fewer to attack other targets Another, related argument is that a Russian attack on all US ICBMs would be so large that it would be a
