Nuclear & Radiological Effects

Abstract

The Nuclear and Radiological Effects project develops modeling tools to: support military operational planning, weapon effects predictions, and strategic system design decisions; consolidate validated modeling tools into the Joint Information Environment for integrated functionality; predict system responses to nuclear and radiological weapons producing electromagnetic, thermal, blast, shock and radiation environments; provide detailed adversary nuclear infrastructure characterization to enhance counterforce operations and hazard effects; and, develop foreign nuclear weapon outputs. The decrease from FY 2015 to FY 2016 is due to an administrative realignment of the System Vulnerability and Assessment effort to Project RI-Nuclear Survivability due to the nature of those activities. The increase from FY 2016 to FY 2017 is due to the net effect of increased investment in targeting support and decreased investment in nuclear full effects modeling.
