Nuclear Hardness Evaluation Procedures for the Preliminary Assessment of the FLEETSATCOM Attitude and Velocity Control Subsystem.

Abstract

This document presents assessment procedures for the preliminary assessment of the survivability of the FLTSATCOM satellite Attitude and Velocity Control Subsystem (AVCS) to various nuclear weapon effects (NWE). In addition to obtaining the assessment results themselves the objectives of this assessment are primarily to exercise for the first time the NHEP (Nuclear Hardness Evaluation Procedures) assessment methodology for satellites on a real piece of satellite equipment and to identify technology and/or data gaps that hinder the assessment.
