I have over a trillion dollar budget surplus, so I'm sure I can afford it. How much will a complete system cost?

about 2 trillion dollars. for a good one.

Credonia is currently developing one, we could provide you with a copy of ours if you would like. It will be a COMPLETE system (as you could probably know since im making it) so it will be very powerful, utilizing space based, land based, and air based lasers, anti-ballistic missile interceptors, anti-missile missiles, and things of that nature.

EDIT: Since your an ally, if we enter into a joint development, Credonia will fund 75% of the project no matter what the cost (god i love having allies)

mine cost 2 trillion for 4380 missles blocked. what's yours gonna be?

If you are interested going into a joint venture, I think costs should be split 50/50. Maybe we can make this a whole IADF Venture? Spread the costs and make the system highly efficient...

That offer is entising, but Credonia is already catching heat from Ozy. and other nations for deploying such a defense system, so making it a joint IADF venture may not be in our best interest, othwise we will gladly go into a joint venture with just your nation.

Yes, I suppose that is OK. How much will the total project cost do you think? And how efficient will it be?

total cost, well, i was only going to put $25 billion into it originally, but im guessing somewhere between $50 billion and $100-200 billion fort the system. As for effeciency, my worse estimate is about 80% of the threat can be averted, but thats a pre-deployment, pre-conceptualizaton figure. Im sure it will be even better once we begin our research and begin testing missiles and things of that nature. Credonia has the capacity to launch satellites into orbit using the Delta family of launch vehicles so that would be most beneficial, plus we also manufacture aircraft so that too will be beneficial, and with the amount of satellites and aircraft that we deploy would also contribute heavily to the efficency of the system.

Are you sure? Thats rather cheap!

i'll have to look into it, but im sure about the efficency

OOC:
What kind of missle defence system are you proposing? That's an awfully high efficiency for such a low cost. Even some fairly large nations have problems surpassing 20%.

YES i know, i need to do more research, and my efficiency rate is based on ideas currently in place and ideas i have. I have a vast knowledge of such technologies since i have been studying them since i was about 11, so i believe my rate is feasable. Its just a matter of choosing the right components for the system, and the available technology to deploy in the weapons.

missiles in general are rather inapt at intercepting things, they require large amounts of energy to get up to a good speed, they require super-precise aiming to actaully hit and destroy their target and they're kinda single use.

The Remmonlands is currently a near-future nation (we have fusion tech from an ally, we've had fusion tech since we were around 50 million population thanks to that ally) and we use Maser satelites to shoot down threats, both airborn and spaceborn, this makes them excellent ICBM weapons, they have a huge range (and immense power useage, which is were the fusion tech comes in) and are quite capable of demolishing ICBM's, there are in total 120 such maser satelites in orbit and a small research spacestation with a couple of masers and an experimental super-weapon system (for use against space threats only however, it uses hydrogen that is at a critical point, the edge between spontaneous fusion or the loss of energy, the hydrogen is then launched at enemy spaceships using special magnetic accelerators. On impact with the target the hydrogen goes critical and fuses with itself)

Ya know, i had this idea, couldnt you create an interceptor missle that instead of hitting the target missile dead on, it just detonates explosives and destroys the missle in close proximity or would that set it off (if its a nuclear missile thats being launched)

The Federation of United Microstates is also in need of a national missile defense system. Our nation is only about 12,000 square miles in size and we have at least 75 Billion to spend on this presently, but our government completely lacks space technology (though the private sector has quite a few satellites). If our government could get in on this, we would greatly appreciate it.

Im sorry but it is against Credonian foreign policy to assit nations in their national defense by roviding them with such weapons and technology created in part by Credonia (a safe-guard for us), therefore we cannot let you into this venture. We only assist our close allies in matters such as this.

We have purchase recently a missile defense system that has aproximatly 91% efficiency against missile attacks. It only cost us about $30 Billion dollars to cover our entire nation.

Credonia, for more details about this system see my official factbook. (thread on IADF Forums)

The purpose of an SDI system is to catch the missile in the upper atmosphere where the warhead would be useless. An interceptor would just kill the delivery system leaving the warhead pretty much intact. What would that solve? The warhead still coming down to the Earth, alive is many instances and hope it was not armed, it nearly always armed once the peak of the path has been overcome (coming back to Earth, the warhead is armed at that point, even the fallout of the intecepted missile still over your nation)

I spent over 3 trillion on mine and the maintenance is on-going. Have not tested it out yet, no need to, but I am sure it will cover 100% of missles launched. One of the controllers of my SDI is a large Battle Station, fully armed and operational. Got to kill that first and even at that, the SDI satellites are still present. It does not hurt to have a protection clause with other Nations to provide SDI for eachother, adds that extra 'safeguarding' against nukes.

my 2 cents worth
