Wapenontwikkelingen en Consequenties Hiervan voor Bunkers (Weapon Development and Consequences for Shelters).

Abstract

Previous bunker designs were based on the threat of a near-miss. Nowadays, conventional weapons are more accurate. This report surveys the capabilities of current and future conventional weapons and draws conclusions about the design criteria needed for future bunkers. The most important developments are in guidance and seekers and in stand-off weapons. Penetration depth is also increasing. It is technically possible that the future threat to bunkers consists of swarms of accurate cruise missiles, equipped with deeply penetrating bombs. Only deeply buried structures are safe against this threat.
