About: Chevaline

An Entity of Type: Band, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Chevaline (/ˈʃɛvəliːn/) was a system to improve the penetrability of the warheads used by the British Polaris nuclear weapons system. Devised as an answer to the improved Soviet anti-ballistic missile defences around Moscow, the system increased the probability that at least one warhead would penetrate Moscow's anti-ballistic missile (ABM) defences, something which the Royal Navy's earlier UGM-27 Polaris re-entry vehicles (RV)s were thought to be unlikely to do. The system was in service from 1982 to 1996, when the Polaris A3T missiles it was fitted to were replaced with the Trident D5.

  • Chevaline (/ˈʃɛvəliːn/) was a system to improve the penetrability of the warheads used by the British Polaris nuclear weapons system. Devised as an answer to the improved Soviet anti-ballistic missile defences around Moscow, the system increased the probability that at least one warhead would penetrate Moscow's anti-ballistic missile (ABM) defences, something which the Royal Navy's earlier UGM-27 Polaris re-entry vehicles (RV)s were thought to be unlikely to do. Chevaline used a variety of penetration aids and decoys to offer so many indistinguishable targets that an opposing ABM system would be overwhelmed attempting to deal with them all, ensuring that enough warheads would get through an ABM defence to be a reasonable deterrent to a first strike. The project was highly secret, and survived in secrecy through four different governments before being revealed in 1980. The system was in service from 1982 to 1996, when the Polaris A3T missiles it was fitted to were replaced with the Trident D5. (en)
  • Программа «Чевелин» (англ. Chevaline — лошадиная антилопа) — программа оснащения баллистических ракет «Polaris» средствами преодоления противоракетной обороны противника, предпринятая британским флотом в 1970-х. Целью программы было обеспечение возможности гарантированного ответного ядерного удара в ситуации развертывания Советским Союзом систем противоракетной обороны, наподобие А-135. В рамках программы, британские баллистические ракеты были оснащены комплексом ложных целей и источников помех, практически гарантирующим для боеголовок возможность поражения объектов, прикрытых наземными системами противоракетной обороны. Программа имела высшую степень секретности, и о её существовании было объявлено только в 1980-х. (ru)
