Attrition and Target Damage Estimates
Abstract
This is one of a series of RAND Research Memoranda which discuss aspects of the active air defense of the continental United States. The series is a part of RAND's study of high-attrition air defense, reported in RAND Report R-250, Active Air Defense of the United States, 1954-1960, December 1, 1953. The study evaluates various choices in development, procurement, and deployment for several budget levels, including budgets considerably higher than current ones. The time period studied includes operations between 1956 and 1960; the general framework of the study is similar to that described in RAND Report R-227, Air Defense Study, October 15, 1951, except that a wider range of questions is considered. IN may ways this series serves to extend, modernize, and modify R-227 and its supporting Research Memoranda. A list of the publications in this series are given on the next page.
