The proliferation of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles combined with the growing threat from „rogue states” are the premises leading to the inevitable development of the missile defence strategy. The Aegis Ashore component based in Poland aims to protect American allies and resources in the European region from the growing rocket threat. The program, which was also included in the NATO Ballistic Missile Defence, is undoubtedly of great importance for international security. The article contains a presentation of the nature and purpose of the BMDS and presents the impact that the project has on Poland's relations with the United States and the NATO. It presents possible present and future implications for international security.

The text describes main US missile defence efforts in the first years of D. Trump’s administration. The analysis of current aspects of BMD (Ballistic Missile Defence) deployments is enhanced by probability analysis examining missile defence reliability. Donald Trump took office in the time of increased military competition between the West and Russia and a dangerous regional crisis related to North Korean nuclear arsenal and its ballistic tests. BMD appeared to bring additional chances to US deterrence options in regional scale, allowing more successful first strike or active defence posture. Notably, D. Trump’s administration managed to raise defence expenditures including BMD spending.

The issue of missile defence has been present in American policy for over 70 years and is constantly subject to research and the search for new technologies. Nowadays, the proliferation of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, as well as the growing threat from the so-called “rogue states” have caused the inevitable development of the missile defence strategy. On the basis of historical programmes and the results of contemporary research, the concept of a Ballistic Missile Defence System was created. The system is based on the principles of indivisibility of the security of the Alliance and NATO solidarity, fair sharing of risk and burdens as well as taking on reasonable challenges. One of the components of the system is the European Phase Adaptive Approach, which was designed to protect American allies and resources in the European region from the growing rocket threat. This paper analyses the genesis of ballistic missile defence and what its development tendencies are. The article contains a presentation of the essence of the US Ballistic Missile Defence System, as well as its history and suspended programmes. The concept of multilayered defence has been outlined, as have the technical details of the system’s components and its location and operational status.

What will future warfare be like? This question is asked by servicemen, politicians, scientists and ordinary citizens. Future wars will definitely be different from those that took place in the 20th century. The size of the army will be of secondary importance on the future battlefield. What will count instead will be reconnaissance, the precision of the attack, and most of all, the effectiveness of military actions, making it possible to defeat the enemy with small losses. These goals will be achieved thanks to modern military technologies. Because of them, even the largest armies in the world have to take account of new types of weapons that instantly locate and attack the enemy, regardless of their distance and means of defence. It is obvious that in order to survive and defeat the enemy, apart from classic kinetic weapons, one needs to have other, more modern and effective support systems and weapons, which make it possible to destroy targets on land, at sea and in space. Space is becoming a modern battlefield, and it will be even more so in the future.

Jaka będzie przyszła wojna – to pytanie zadają sobie wojskowi, politycy, naukowcy i zwykli obywatele. jest powszechna zgoda, że będzie ona na pewno inna niż te, które miały miejsce w XX wieku. Na przyszłym polu walki liczebność wojska będzie miała drugoplanowe znacznie. Liczyć się będzie rozpoznanie, świadomość sytuacyjna, precyzja rażenia, a przede wszystkim skuteczność działań i pokonanie przeciwnika przy najmniejszych startach własnych. Osiągnięcie tych celów będzie możliwe dzięki nowoczesnym technologiom militarnym. Sprawią one, że nawet największe armie świata muszą się liczyć z nowym typem uzbrojenia, które błyskawicznie lokalizuje i dopada przeciwnika, bez względu na dystans i środki obrony. Zeby przeżyć i pokonać przeciwnika trzeba oprócz klasycznej broni kinetycznej mieć w zapasie inne nowocześniejsze i bardziej skuteczne systemy wsparcia i uzbrojenie umożliwiające niszczenie obiektów na lądzie, morzu i w kosmosie. Kosmos staje się areną współczesnego i perspektywicznego pola walki. Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie kierunków rozwoju nowoczesnych systemów broni, ze szczególnym zwróceniem uwagi na broń w kosmosie.

The main aim of this article is to prove the importance of strategic aspects of Integrated Air and Missile Defence especially with focus on SBAD (Surface Based Air Defence) systems. To achieve the aim, theoretical research methods such as analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization were applied. The results show that the strategic aspects of Integrated Air and Missile Defence should be considered as the crucial elements of the military deterrence for NATO. In addition offensive action must be consider also as a defencise posture. Thus, the formulated thesis undermines the up-to-date understanding of the problem, and therefore may contribute to further discussion on the topic of using means of defensive deterrence for NATO. Once again, this is highly important to have, develop and operate such systems nowadays. IAMD has become one of the most important pillars of the security of NATO countries. Due to the fact that this article is unclassified, it is remaining on generic statements and not dig in into details which are normally more sensitive.
