| Summary/Abstract |
Wing Commander Anand Sharma examines the shift from defence against ballistic missiles by destroying them in fixed silos getting negated by mobile launchers and other steps to direct anti- ballistic missile capabilities. As the research and development of anti-ballistic missile systems continued gaining effectiveness and advance capabilities, counter-measures to missile defence also matured and were outflanking the efforts. This offence-defence play-off brought ballistic missile defence into prominence in security planning. Many technologies have come to the fore to provide defence against the annihilating ballistic missile attack. The ultimate effect appears to be an expansion of the offence-defence competition with many unpredictable developments and effects.
