Nuclear & Radiological Effects
Abstract
The Nuclear and Radiological Effects project develops nuclear and radiological assessment modeling tools to support military operational planning, weapon effects predictions, and strategic system design decisions. This project consolidates validated Defense Threat Reduction Agency modeling tools into a net-centric environment for integrated functionality; predicts system response to nuclear and radiological weapons producing electromagnetic, thermal, blast, shock and radiation environments - key systems include Nuclear Command and Control System, Global Information Grid, missiles, structures, humans and environment; provides detailed adversary nuclear infrastructure characterization to enhance counterforce operations and hazard effects; conducts analyses in support of nuclear and radiological Science and Technology and addresses the priority needs of the Combatant Commands and the Department of Defense; develops and provides electromagnetic pulse assessment capabilities to support national and military operational planning, weapon effects predictions, and national strategic systems designs; and develop foreign nuclear weapon outputs. Related funding for this project can be found in the WMD Defeat Technologies: 0602718BR, budget exhibit.
