Abstract: Often a simple model is sufficient for presenting the essential features of a situation or system to decision makers. Information can be integrated to show the whole picture and to identify trade-offs that will dominate during system and component design. A simple model of a ballistic-missile-defense (BMD) system can be used in this way and can also be used as a straightforward introduction to the subject.
