"One of the primary impacts of the Gulf War on Western opinion was
to underline the reality of a ballistic missile threat. The USA
subsequently gave top priority to the development of a system
against tactical ballistic missiles as part of the National Missile
Defense program. NATO and the WEU has agreed it needs capabilities
to defend the entire spectrum of air threats including tactical
ballistic missiles (TBMs), tactical aerodynamic missiles (TAMs),
and manned aircraft (MA) through an extension of the existing
Integrated Air Defense System (IADS). This research concentrates on
Theater Missile Defense, compares the US program and the European
approaches in NATO and WEU and analyzes the current European
dependence on US assets, especially on space assets for early
warning and reconnaissance, and the current limited capabilities of
the European NATO allies in active ballistic missile defense
issues. Furthermore it looks for fields of equal and fair
multinational cooperation as a way to reduce costs and to optimize
limited resources by sharing technology and capabilities. It shows
that the European industries are capable to develop military space
assets and able to participate in multinational cooperation's. It
also shows, that it is very difficult in Europe and NATO to bring
all nations together for the developing of an European Ballistic
Missile Defense architecture and to provide the necessary
funding."--Abstract.
