Nuclear Weapon Effects Calculations in the TACWAR Code

Abstract

The study reviewed the accuracy of nuclear weapon effects data and algorithms used by the IDA TACWAR theater warfare simulation computer model to make damage evaluations. The report describes areas where improvements in specifying the nuclear explosion-generated effects--nuclear radiation, thermal radiation, and air blast--could be made.
