Spatial management of air and missile defence operations

Abstract

This paper relates to the accepted presentation presented at the international Air and Missile Defence Technology Conference, held on November 16–17, 2022, in London, the UK, (day two), reflecting the contents of the presentation slides. It describes applications of the patented and internationally tested Spatial Grasp Technology (SGT) and its Spatial Grasp Language (SGL) for integrated air and missile defense (IAMD). Based on holistic space navigation and processing by recursive mobile code self-spreading in distributed words, SGT differs radically from the traditional management of large systems since it consists of parts exchanging messages. The dynamic network of SGL interpreters can be arbitrarily large and cover terrestrial and celestial environments as powerful spatial engines. The paper contains an example of tracking and destruction of multiple cruise missiles by self-evolving spatial intelligence in SGL using networks of radar stations. It also briefs the growing multiple satellite constellation in low Earth orbits (LEO) for potential IAMD applications. Starting from the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) of the past and then briefing the latest project of the Space Development Agency, the paper shows SGL solutions for discovery, tracking, and destroying ballistic missiles and hypersonic gliders with the use of collectively behaving constellations of LEO satellites. It also shows how to organize higher levels of supervision of groups of mobile chasers fighting multiple targets (potentially both missiles and drones), by providing global awareness and even consciousness in SGL which can drastically improve their performance. The latest version of SGT can be implemented on any platform and put into operation in a short time, similar to its previous versions in different countries.
