M-X Basing Area Analysis Process.

Abstract

This briefing describes the M-X basing area selection process--a continuing process entailing the successive application of several sets of screening criteria and the identification of unacceptable or unreasonable basing areas for the M-X missile in multiple protective structures (MPS). The process began in January 1977 with criteria involving geotechnical, cultural, safety and other concerns. The purpose of this briefing is to describe the M-X basing area selection process with emphasis on recent selection of the Nevada-Utah and West Texas-New Mexico areas for in-depth environmental analysis.
