B-1 Unique Signal Train Generation Application Study.

Abstract

The background requirement which underlies this study is consideration by the US Atomic Energy Commission of the incorporation of a device in aircraft-delivered nuclear weapons which would be an additional series safety device in the weapon pre-arm circuits. This device would be operated by a pulsating direct current signal whose format and implementation would be so unique that the possibility of its generation and application to the weapon by any means other than deliberate personnel action would be insignificantly small.
