A dual mode seeker for intercepting a reentry vehicle or other target is disclosed.

Electronic equipment specially designed for reentry vehicles.

Data fusion is employed to resolve the possible targets as between decoys/clutter and a reentry vehicle.

Under 2.D.4. if specially designed or modified for re-entry vehicles designed for non-weapon payloads

Pyrolytic or fibrous reinforced graphites, usable for rocket nozzles and reentry vehicle nose tips usable in “missiles”;

Payload” for systems with non-separating re-entry vehicles includes:

Pyrolytic or fibrous reinforced graphites usable for rocket nozzles and re- entry vehicle nose tips usable in systems specified in 1.A. or 19.A.1.

One test was to “determine X‑ray effects on re-entry vehicles and space systems.

Stripping becomes a reliable way to discriminate lighter weight decoys from reentry vehicles at altitudes and ranges consistent with planned divert capabilities for terminal phase missile defense.

In the early 70s, ONERA launched into the "low frequency radar" business following work on the characterization of reentry plasmas.
