The U.S. government and the South Korean government claim that the THAAD installation is only for the safety of South Korea and the Korean Peninsula. However, the study questioned the claim, assuming that there may be another reason behind the deployment of THAAD regarding the U.S. pursuing its interests in the U.S. - China hegemonic race. The study uses Olganski's power transition theory to analyze the current situation and to find out the correlation between THAAD and U.S. - China hegemony. According to the analysis, China still seems to be far from catching up with the U.S., but in some areas it is quite difficult to determine any states' absolute level of competitiveness, and China even has an upper hand in trade. In this situation, China is dissatisfied with the U.S.-led international order, and the possibility of a power transition rises. Therefore, the paper attempts to verify that the deployment of THAAD missiles on the Korean Peninsula, which greatly helps the U.S. MD(Missile Defense) system, was a strategic choice for the U.S. to hinder China's growth.
2	North Korea, representation and armament: an investigation into the politics of missile defense Chlumecky, Nicholas 30 April 2018 (has links) This thesis examines how corporations use North Korea’s media portrayal to profit. By gaining government contracts to develop weapons and missile defense systems, companies such as Lockheed Martin make billions of dollars. The thesis will examine how this is accomplished in three stages: first, by examining how soft power is generated and used to build a consensus. Then, government usage of soft power to rationalize North Korea as a threat is discussed. Finally, how corporations profit from government-authorized weapons programs will be detailed. The thesis will incorporate theory based off of the ideas of Joseph Nye, as well as geopolitical concepts promulgated by Michael Hardt. / Graduate missile defense THAAD North Korea GMD Aegis Aegis BMD Joseph Nye Michael Hardt Antonio Negri Boeing Lockheed Martin Raytheon Empire human rights United Nations UN
3	TELEMETRY IN THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE DEVELOPMENT Toole, Michael T. 10 1900 (has links) International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1994 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / Since the Gulf War, there has been significant interest in Theater Missile Defense (TMD) resulting in funding growth from tens of millions of dollars at the time of the Gulf War to $1.7 Billion in 1994. The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) has developed a Theater Missile Defense test and evaluation program that will assess technological feasibility and the degree to which system functionality and performance meet technical and operational requirements. The complexity of the TMD program necessitates a comprehensive test program which includes flight testing, ground testing, and modeling and simulation. This article will provide and overview the requirements and capabilities needed to satisfy these requirements. The data processing, and telemetry communities will play a major role in providing the expertise to support the development of the nation’s future Theater Missile Defense capabilities.
