- Abstract
The article presents a study which analyzes the potential value of using altitude-based interceptors in an anti-ballistic missile (ABM) role in a theater of operations. It emphasizes that the discussion clearly showed that loitering aircraft armed with hypersonic-capable interceptors provide an advantageous option for defending against ballistic missiles. The results open new opportunity to further in-depth research for the refinement and advancement of altitude-based ABM system.
