CURRENT ASPECTS OF THE SOVIET ANTIBALLISTIC MISSILE-PROGRAM

The Soviets have been working hard on research and development related to antiballistic missile (ABM) systems Recent information has shed new light on extensive Soviet efforts over the past several years to find a defense against ballistic missile attack It riow is apparent that research and development test events at Sary Shagan have been more numerous in the past three y~ars than previously reported At least some deployment of a defensive missile--possibly ABM--System is under way in the northwest region of the USSR Several large radars capable of detecti~g ballistic misiles and satellites are being deployed thereand elseshywhere in the USSR Also there are recent indicashytions that Soviet civil defense--an important adshyjunct to a deployed ABM system--is being reorganized and pos~ibly upgraded

Informationmiddot on Soviet ABM programs however remains limited The success or failure experienced in test programs during the past eight years the status of deployment and the techniques and capashybilities of systems possibly being deployed remain in doubt Among the deployment activjties taking place it is not eyen possible to distinguish with certainty between those which may be related to weapons systems designed for ABM roles arid those related to long-range surface-to-air missiles for defense against aircraft and stand-off air-toshysurface missiles

Sary Shagan

The major center for the development Qf Soviet defenses against ballistic missiles is at the Sary Shagan missilemiddot test complex Sary Shagan may also be involved in the testing of missile systems for defense against aircraft and air-toshysurface missiles

Since I Jtestshying was first detected ataryShagan morethan 300 ballistic missiles have been fired toward Sary Shagan from Kapustin Yar Chelkar and Makat Over 200 of these firings were controlled by Sary Shagan and were probshyably tests of components of ABM systems being developed there Beshyginning in late 1960 approximately

CURRENT ASPECTS OF THE SOVIET ANTIBALLISTIC MISSILE-PROGRAM

The Soviets have been working hard on research and development related to antiballistic missile (ABM) systems Recent information has shed new light on extensive Soviet efforts over the past several years to find a defense against ballistic missile attack It riow is apparent that research and development test events at Sary Shagan have been more numerous in the past three y~ars than previously reported At least some deployment of a defensive missile--possibly ABM--System is under way in the northwest region of the USSR Several large radars capable of detecti~g ballistic misiles and satellites are being deployed thereand elseshywhere in the USSR Also there are recent indicashytions that Soviet civil defense--an important adshyjunct to a deployed ABM system--is being reorganized and pos~ibly upgraded

Informationmiddot on Soviet ABM programs however remains limited The success or failure experienced in test programs during the past eight years the status of deployment and the techniques and capashybilities of systems possibly being deployed remain in doubt Among the deployment activjties taking place it is not eyen possible to distinguish with certainty between those which may be related to weapons systems designed for ABM roles arid those related to long-range surface-to-air missiles for defense against aircraft and stand-off air-toshysurface missiles

Sary Shagan

The major center for the development Qf Soviet defenses against ballistic missiles is at the Sary Shagan missilemiddot test complex Sary Shagan may also be involved in the testing of missile systems for defense against aircraft and air-toshysurface missiles

I 50Xl E013526

Since I Jtestshying was first detected ataryShagan morethan 300 ballistic missiles have been fired toward Sary Shagan from Kapustin Yar Chelkar and Makat Over 200 of these firings were controlled by Sary Shagan and were probshyably tests of components of ABM systems being developed there Beshyginning in late 1960 approximately
