U. S. Strategic Doctrine and the Development of Command and Control Systems,

Abstract

This study identifies and discusses the broad categories of command and control functions which are generally considered to be necessary for the implementation of a highly selective nuclear strategy. These include tactical warning, attack assessment, and the specific direction of particular elements of the strategic nuclear forces. Then, the command and control systems capable, to some extent, of performing these functions are identified and discussed, with particular reference to the rationales which underlay the original decisions for their respective development.
