| Thus, the production of debris again should make ASAT use and testing not legally acceptable. |
|
| Regarding ASAT technologies: who would be in a position to use these devices? |
|
| Finally, a way must be found to prevent conflict in space and to prohibit ASAT tests. |
|
| We note in particular the importance of this non-interference provision in light of the recent ASAT weapon test. |
|
| However, the weak reaction of other countries, for example to ASAT tests in the past, means that such tests are not illegal today. |
|
| The text defining weapons does not include terrestrially based ASAT weapons. |
|
| Despite the ASAT test, we continue to believe that there is no arms race in space, and therefore no problem for arms control to solve. |
|
| The current threat is primarily from activities related to ASAT weapons, such as jamming devices, ground-based lasers and kinetic energy weapons. |
|
| The issue as to whether space-based missile systems such as BMD fall under the auspices of ASAT weapons was debated. |
|
| In the 1970s, the United States engaged in ASAT arms control negotiations with the Soviet Union. |
|
| On the question of emerging ASAT technologies, questions were asked about research being conducted outside the United States in this area. |
|
| With their current series of missile defence tests, the United States is gaining experience that could also be applied to ASAT weapons. |
|
| As in the case of conventionally armed ballistic missiles, the capability for an ASAT attack with a nuclear warhead exists as long as nuclear warheads and ballistic missile arsenals are maintained. |
|
| And it is regrettable that China continues to call for an arms control arrangement which, if its recent behaviour is any indication, would not ban its ASAT activities nor address the fears its actions have stoked. |
|
| An ASAT system may be based on Earth or else carried by a satellite. |
|
| The direct-ascent ASAT appears to be part of a larger Chinese ASAT program that includes ground-based lasers and jamming of satellite signals. |
|
| Before joining ASAT, Teng was a vice president at Cadence Design Systems Asia and was responsible for Asia Pacific sales. |
|
| Again, while these sorts of technologies are increasingly available, development of working ground-based ASAT systems would not be all that simple or all that cheap. |
|
| But I have to say that I'm not against these interceptors, because they would provide the United States an ASAT role, while we'd try to discourage other people from having one. |
|
| At the very core of its tenets, ASAT teaches Soldiers how to be more situationally aware through human behavior pattern recognition and analysis. |
|
|
|
| European IC producers are rapidly raising the stakes in semiconductor innovation, which is why ASAT sees this market as a vital growth opportunity. |
|
| The ASAT products acquisition will complement Alstom Grid s MiCOM protection relay range and increase the offering of the DS Agile digital control systems. |
|
| The case involves the sale of integrated circuits by ASAT Ltd. |
