Effectiveness Studies of Missile Systems Against Ground Target. Part 2, Spherical Damage Patterns VS. Point Targets

Abstract

The formulae developed (in Part II a) of this report) are applied to the following situation. A ballistic missile carrying a thermonuclear warhead is fired against a point target, i.e., perhaps a launching site of an enemy ballistic missile. The results of the calculations are given in tables; graphs are included to illustrate the effect of certain parameters.
