When the various
capabilities of Tesla shields, globes, and scalar howitzers are
integrated together into an ABM defense, a most formidable Soviet
strategic defense capability is apparent.
On this slide we deal only with midcourse and terminal phase ABM
defense. Later we shall cover the application of these weapons to launch
phase ABM defense, primary phase bomber defense, underwater
antisubmarine defense, etc. Suppose the U.S. is provoked to desperately
launch a missile attack toward Russia, as indicated on the slide. First
would come the launch phase destruction of the launched missiles, which
we will cover shortly.
Any remaining missiles in midcourse would encounter extremely large,
glowing spheres of light, where the EM energy density is contained and
held in the spherical shell "energy bottle" of the glowing globes. Each
globe might cover an arc of up to about 20 degrees, as seen from the
Soviet defended area. missiles carrying MIRV and MARV payloads would not
yet have deployed their re-entry vehicles.
As a missile and its payload encounter one of the globular shells, an
intense EMP is suddenly experienced throughout the missile and all of
its components. Again, EMI shielding is of no consequence since the EMP
arises in each increment of spacetime throughout the vehicle volume. The
result is instantaneous dudding of all electronic circuitry, including
the electronics of the nuclear warheads themselves. The HE content of
the nuclear warhead system is violently exploded, totally destroying the
configuration of the warhead. A low-order nuclear detonation may occur,
but more likely the warhead's nuclear material is just broken up, finely
divided, and set afire.
In addition, all combustible materials are set fiercely afire or
destroyed. Explosive materials such as booster propellants and HE
explosives are violently exploded. Ablative and plastic materials
literally explode into pieces, torn apart by sudden violent ablation and
outgassing everywhere within. The remnants of the vehicle are now total
duds, as is the payload, including re-entry vehicle, nuclear warhead
electronics, nuclear materials from the disruption and explosion of the
HE portion of the warhead system, etc.
Still, each piece of the debris must pass through the glowing shell once
more before it exits. Thus a second "shot", precisely as effective as
the first, still awaits each and every piece of the debris plunging
along inside the shell as it exits.
As the debris continues on to the latter part of midcourse and early
terminal phase, any portions large enough to track are subjected to
small, intense Tesla globes where the energy density in the shell is
many orders of magnitude greater than in the larger globe used in
earlier midcourse. This part of the defense system simply services each
incoming "blob" methodically, probably first in the pulse mode. Later,
any blobs still remaining are given the maximum "continuous heating"
mode with a small Tesla globe, to actually vaporize metals and
materials.
In the unlikely event that anything active still remains, or that an
object has managed to elude the large and small Tesla fireballs, a Tesla
shield is still to be encountered, towering over the protected area. For
significant targets this shield will be concentric, and will contain
three or more concentric Tesla shields. Again, the approaching vehicle
will be subjected to multiple EMP's and severe heating throughout its
volume. In addition, the concentric shields will "clean up" and
sterilize any gamma radiation and EMP resulting from any deliberate high
altitude defense suppression nuclear burst that somehow (inconceivably!)
gets through the launch phase ABM system, and the Tesla-globe midcourse
and early terminal phase defenses.
As can be seen, the system complex represents a most formidable defense
that certainly approaches 100% effectiveness against the present triad,
and even against the addition of cruise missiles.
In addition, since these weapons suffer from very strange constraints
and limitations, the scalar transmitters are actually dual mode: they
become conventional radars by simply switching into the ordinary EM
mode. They are part of the more conventional ABM defense system
complexes we presently recognize in the Soviet Union. In this
conventional role, backup ABM missile interceptors are available, to be
employed in case the conventional role must be assumed.
Later we will address the reason for the strange limitations which must
be placed upon unqualified use of the large scalar EM systems,
particularly in the pulse or "burst" nodes.
