description The article is devoted to the preliminary concept of the Future Planetary Defense System (FPDS) emphasizing astroballistics. This paper is intended to support international efforts to improve the planetary security of Earth. The work covers three areas of knowledge: astronautics, astrodynamics, and astroballistics. The most important part of the presented article is dynamic, contact combat modeling against small, deformable celestial bodies. For these purposes, the original, proprietary hydrocode of the free particle method (HEFPM-G) with gravity was used. The main aim of combat is to redirect potentially hazardous objects (PHOs) to orbits safe for Earth or destroy them. This concept’s first task is to find, prepare, and use dynamic three-dimensional models of the motion of celestial bodies and spacecraft or human-crewed spaceships in the solar system’s relativistic frame. The second task is to prepare the FPDS’ architecture and computer simulation space missions’ initial concepts in the internal part of the solar system. The third and main task covers simulating, using hydrocodes, and selected methods of fighting 100 m diameter rock material asteroids.
