The proliferation of ballistic missiles in the Third World has posed a new type of challenge to policy makers in the United States. More than twenty Third World countries either possess surface-to-surface missiles or are trying to develop or acquire them. Current trends suggest that the number of countries with missiles will increase in the 1990s and that the capabilities of the available systems will also grow. W. Seth Carus assesses the threat of such proliferation to United States military forces as well as those of its allies operating in the Third World. The book studies the military utility of these missiles to the countries that possess them and covers the various military responses of Third World countries to missile proliferation. Carus also examines the various attempts the United States has made to slow the proliferation of ballistic missiles. Washington has joined many of its allies in the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), a suppliers agreement designed to restrict exports of missiles and missile technologies to the Third World. According to Carus, efforts have been made to persuade the Soviet Union, China and other countries to abide by the provisions of the MTCR. After discussing the bilateral talks with proliferating countries, Carus also analyzes the attempts made to derail specific missile programs and the difficulties involved in controlling missile technology.

Since the beginning of the crisis precipitated by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, the threat posed by Iraq's arsenal of ballistic missiles has been the focus of international attention. In the opening days of the U.S.-led military counteroffensive beginning on January 16, 1992, Iraq launched ballistic missiles against population centers in Israel and military bases in Saudi Arabia. The attacks intensified the terror of the war and prompted renewed efforts by the multinational force to destroy Saddam Hussein's military machine. The countries aligned against Iraq were prepared for attacks by chemically armed missiles, but Iraq's missile force proved to be of little military consequence. The missiles that survived the opening hours of Operation Desert Storm were conventionally armed, inaccurate and unreliable. Most of those that were actually launched either were intercepted by American antimissile defenses or failed to hit vital targets. But the political impact of the missiles was inestimable. The strikes symbolized Iraq's determination to prosecute the war no matter what the cost. By threatening to involve Israel, they created severe tensions and posed the risk that multinational military coalition would be dissolved, and they underscored the potential vulnerability of all the states in the region to Iraqi aggression. In this book, Janne E. Nolan argues that the use of missiles is a harbinger of the altered international security environment confronting the Untied States and its allies in the late twentieth century. Long believed to be a distant prospect, the adoption of technological resources to missile development is already occurring in over a dozen developing countries, many of them long-standing regional antagonists. These capabilities present complicated challenges to American interests and foreign policy, challenges that have only begun to be explored as a result of the Iraqi crisis.

During the past two decades ballistic missile proliferation has raised a new threat for an operational commander to consider when preparing for and conducting operations in a potential or actual theater of war. Regional third world ballistic missile capable states and continuing improvements in missile system capabilities will threaten the security of rear areas as well as front line units. While today's third world missile systems are relatively ineffective in terms of military importance, Desert Storm demonstrated the enormous political and psychological leverage these weapon systems can create. The purpose of this paper is to examine the growing threat posed by third world ballistic missiles and their impact in possible future conflicts. The paper first covers present third world capabilities and then considers possible future developments in the areas of missile inventories, missile accuracy, targeting accuracy, warhead development and access to space. The paper then looks at the options available to an operational commander and possible responses to counter the threat.

"Feasibility of Third World Long Range Ballistic Missile Threat" presents the results of a United States aerospace industry study which assesses the likelihood of a Third World country developing a long range (3,000-10,000 km) ballistic missile (LRBM) system and the estimated time to field it. A 10,000-km range ballistic missile launched from North Korea, for example, can reach the western and central regions of the United States. Likewise, a 5,000-km range missile launched from Iran could reach cities throughout Western Europe. The study contains four technical sections: historical developments and technology migration, trends in Third World ballistic missile weaponry, threat development on a compressed schedule, and candidate LRBM configurations. The report is unclassified because it drew exclusively upon unclassified sources of information. The study traces the history of the LRBM threat from Germany's V-2 rockets of World War II to the present II shows how Third World countries could quickly field and launch LRBMs with technical assistance and components imported from developed nations. The Study examines five different options by which a Third World country could achieve a long range ballistic missile capability: Buy a long range ballistic missile; Buy and convert an available space launch vehicle; Cluster or stack existing tactical missiles as boosters; Design and build a booster and use existing tactical missile for upper stage; or Design and build an entire missile. The flight stability and performance characteristics of feasible Third World missile configurations are based on industry experience in the design of missile systems and verified by the use of standard engineering analysis tools and missile flight simulations. The report contains the estimated time required for a Third World nation to develop each option as measured from program start to first launch.

With the end of the Cold War and the visibility of U.S. Patriot missile defenses during the 1991 Gulf War, the cost and benefits of ballistic missile defense systems (BMD) need to be re-evaluated. In this detailed and balanced study, David Denoon assesses new types of short-range and intercontinental missile defenses. In the post Cold War era, two fundamental changes have made missile defense for the United States and its military forces more compelling: The United States and Russia no longer see each other as direct threats and there has been a dramatic proliferation of ballistic missile capability in the Third World. Consequently, U.S. forces deployed overseas are more likely to be at risk and, eventually, the United States itself could become vulnerable to missile threats. With these changes in mind, David Denoon analyzes the current BMD dilemma, arguing that active defenses against missiles should be seen as a form of insurance against catastrophe. He assesses the likelihood of missile attacks and the appropriate level of investment for the United States to defend against such attacks. The book provides an assessment of deterrence and the performance of the Patriot missiles during the 1991 Gulf War, critiques the Strategic Defense Initiative, and analyzes the prospects for new types of short-range and intercontinental missile defenses.
