A determination to place guns in area, or to chorus from doing so, might be according to an organization origin of information approximately what the guns will be anticipated to do. quite a few options were encouraged as typical evolutions of floor and airborne guns; it's severe to envision how those orbital guns evaluate with their terrestrial opposite numbers. This essay evaluates the theoretical services of orbital guns and compares them to guns already in lifestyles and ideas proposed for development.
The goal of this essay is to supply perception into the place destiny investments might be made if the U.S. is to guard its more and more very important space-based resources, and preserve its place as a world chief capable of undertaking army strength at any place worthy.

The chamber probably cannot be made with a larger diameter be cause the flow of gases through the chamber would be changed signifi cantly. Similarly, flow rates for the chemicals probably cannot be increased since they are presumably optimized for maximum power already. This leaves lengthening the chamber as the only method for creating more pow erful beams. 14. Garwin, 288. 15. Hans Bethe and Richard L. Garwin, “Appendix A: New BMD Tech nologies,” Daedalus: Weapons in Space 2, no. 114 (Summer 1985): 338–39.

As a minimum, the satellite will probably have to be replaced.

Depending on the overall strategy, the problems associated with this approach could be somewhat easier to solve than 31 CADRE PAPER those of the space mine. If the weapon is to disable the target satellite immediately upon arrival, then there is no need for a long-term power source.

While it would probably be most effi cient for a bodyguard to have a service life comparable to that of the asset being protected, this requirement dictates a very capable weapon that can withstand years of inactivity with no maintenance and still reliably accomplish its mission. Even deploying enough of them to defend only military satellites would be expensive; deploying enough to defend civilian satel lites as well would be cost-prohibitive. 76 To summarize, the bodyguard concept suffers from most of the same problems, as do the weapons it is intended to protect against.
