Kauai, Pacific Missile Range Facility, February 24, 2005
Aegis BMD exoatmospheric intercept in space over the Pacific
Tactical SM-3 interceptor launched from U.S.S. Lake Erie
Fifth success in six test events
Aegis fleets provide the platforms for global missile defenses

Cold War Posture : Cold War Posture 1950 – NSC 68 “U.S. Objectives and Programs for National Security”
“The whole success of the proposed program [political, economic, military confrontation with the Soviet Union] hangs ultimately on recognition by the Government, the American people and all free peoples, that the cold war is in fact a real war in which the survival of the free world is at stake.”
Slide9 : The INF talks begin. Paul Nitze shakes hand with Soviet negotiator Yuli Kitsinsky in Geneva, December 1, 1981. The following summer, the two men would go for their famous "walk in the woods." The “Walk in the Woods”
Slide10 : Paul Nitze meets with President Reagan in the Oval Office on May 12, 1983, to receive final instructions before returning to Geneva for the third round of the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces (INF) talks. INF Treaty
Cost Effective at the Margin : Cost Effective at the Margin Paul Nitze in 1985
The measure of “goodness” for missile defense systems is that they should be “cost effective at the margin”.
For relatively small additional marginal costs they provide
large additions to warfighting capability.
For relatively small additional marginal costs they impose
large additional marginal costs on the adversary.
Slide12 : Defense Transformation: Networking Missile Defense
Cooperation With Coalition Partners The Platforms and Capability For Coalition
Missile Defense Are Built and Building
The Network Objective : The Network Objective Persistent global collaboration
Near real-time to real time
Persistent:
Continuous
Refreshed
Redundant
Global:
Available everywhere relevant
Coverage everywhere relevant
Shared collaboration with joint and coalition
Slide14 : Reed’s Law of group-forming networks, like Metcalfe’s Law, says there are increasing returns as the number of people or nodes on a network (N) increases. But with Reed’s Law, returns increase much faster (an exponential increase, 2N) than with Metcalfe’s Law (a square increase, N2). Source: David P. Reed

The Network Effect : The Network Effect The value of a network to each participant increases as you add more participants.
The underlying foundation for the dramatic growth of the internet/world wide web.
The underlying foundation for the attractiveness of bringing more and more participants into any network.
The scientific foundation for why network centric, network enabled capabilities offer tangible benefits for the warfighter.
In fact, the only reason that network centric, network enabled capabilities are of any value at all.
Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense Is Cost Effective at the Margin : Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense Is Cost Effective at the Margin Missile Defense offers the U.S. and coalition partners the “most cost effective at the margin” opportunity to participate in “building the network” for coalition warfighting capabilities.
The major costs have already been provided for in the building of the Aegis fleets in the U.S. and Japan, Spain, Norway, South Korea, and Australia.
$200 billion +
The marginal costs are small compared to the total costs already committed
Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense provides the most “cost effective at the margin” component of Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense.
The Exponential Network Effects in Missile Defense are Offered By: : The Exponential Network Effects in Missile Defense are Offered By: Multiple geographical sites
Multiple joint and coalition partners
Multiple sensors and weapons
Multiple U.S. and coalition Navy Aegis platforms for sensors and weapons
Aegis capable ships with BMD are the most cost effective part of the network

Summary and Conclusion : Summary and Conclusion JIAMD provides the “Network Effect”
The gift that keeps on giving
As you add more participants you get exponentially more capability
Network effects are the tangible scientific foundation for network centric and network enabled capability
Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense meets the “Nitze Criterion”
Aegis ballistic missile defense is “cost effective at the margin”
The Aegis fleet continues to add new ships, both U.S. and international providing the foundation for the network effect in missile defense
