This thesis investigates MX survivability when a terminal ballistic missile defense system known as Low Altitude Defense (LOAD) is deployed. LOAD will defend the MX missile with three high-speed, nuclear armed interceptor missiles. This research determines a best strategy for the use of the interceptors. The deployment of LOAD with its best strategy is compared to increases in MX shelter hardness to determine which is the more effective method of improving MX survivability. (Author)
