Nuclear & Radiological Effects

Abstract

The Nuclear and Radiological Effects project develops modeling tools to: support military operational planning, weapons 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 increase from FY 2016 to FY 2017 is due to increased investment in targeting support. The increase from FY 2017 to FY 2018 is due to increased investment in full effects modeling.
