Treatment of Nuclear Effects Uncertainties, Effects on LF Propagation.

Abstract

Uncertainty in nuclear effects on LF communication links is investigated. The scenario is a massive surface burst attack on ICBM fields, in the time period 12 hours following the engagement. Uncertainty probability distributions for LF signal loss are computed which account for the uncertainty in nuclear debris cloud stabilization altitude and the uncertainty in debris cloud location due to the variability of atmospheric winds. Nuclear effects calculations are made with the SIMBAL computer program (Simulation of Multiple Bursts and Links). (Author)
