The challenge for a defense during this 20-minute midcourse flight is to pick the RVs out of this debris and disable them. Infrared sensors are ineffective at this stage, so recent research has concentrated on an interactive sensor, a stream of highly accelerated uncharged atomic particles that would penetrate...
