Book Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Deep Attack Weapons Mix Study DAWMS

Download or read book Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Deep Attack Weapons Mix Study DAWMS written by United States. Defense Science Board. Task Force on Deep Attack Weapons Mix Study (DAWMS) and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on the Deep Attack Weapons Mix Study (DAWMS) Methodology. Included is an annotated viewgraph report on Phase I (weapons optimization) as well as a letter report on the Phase II methodology (trade-offs of weapon-delivery platforms). The Task Force was charged to provide an independent assessment of the analytical tools and models employed in the DAWMS effort. The significant issue that the Task Force discovered in their review of DAWMS methodology is the great difficulty in realistically modeling large-scale joint military operations against opposing forces. As a result, the Task Force believes that it is important for the Department to move forward with the development of greatly improved approaches for modeling such large-scale operations. Only by such an advance will it be possible to evaluate the capabilities of various force-structure options as well as the impact of new tactics and weapon systems.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report of the Task Force is partitioned into separate sections dealing with the origins and character of the DAWMS study the composition and tasking of the Task Force a review of the three components of the DAWMS study (namely input assumptions structure and approach of the models used and the approach to costing of force options). The report finishes by making some observations on each of the methodology components listed above as well as making some suggestions on how to improve the process of evaluating different military force structures.

Book Interim Report of the Defense Science Board DSB Task Force on the Survivability of Systems and Assets to Electromagnetic Pulse EMP and Other Nuclear Weapon Effects NWE

Download or read book Interim Report of the Defense Science Board DSB Task Force on the Survivability of Systems and Assets to Electromagnetic Pulse EMP and Other Nuclear Weapon Effects NWE written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Defense Science Board Task Force is examining the ability of DoD's forces and critical supporting capabilities (e.g., communications, power) to survive, operate, and succeed on/in battlefields/battlespaces where nuclear weapons are threatening or are being employed. The most likely case(s) are use of nuclear weapons by others. Although fratricide is the least likely case, ignoring it is risky. Moreover, U.S. nuclear forces require an increased premium on reliability and survivability as further reductions occur. Understanding nuclear weapons effects (NWE) and mitigation options is a central military-technical matter. See Table 1 at the end of the report for a notional matrix of the scope of the problem and the Task Force's assessments to date.

Book Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Nuclear Weapon Effects Test Evaluation and Simulation

Download or read book Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Nuclear Weapon Effects Test Evaluation and Simulation written by Office of the Under Secretary of Defense and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Defense Science Board (DSB) Task Force on Nuclear Weapon Effects (NWE) Test, Evaluation and Simulation was undertaken with the overall goal of providing a comprehensive evaluation of current and future Department of Defense (DoD) processes for assuring successful operation in nuclear environments. As directed by the Terms of Reference, we have assessed opponent capabilities and DoD processes for establishing and enforcing hardness goals. These assessments have considered the emergence of terrorism as a major threat to the U.S. homeland and deployed forces abroad, the asymmetric attractiveness of the use of nuclear weapons to offset U.S. conventional superiority, and the growing evidence of proliferation of nuclear-capable states. We have also evaluated the evolution of DoD and Department of Energy (DOE) modeling, simulation, and above-ground testing capabilities since the cessation of underground testing to understand our ability to qualify hardened systems. The results of this Task Force were developed independent of, but are highly consistent with, the findings and recommendations of the Congressionally mandated Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Commission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD (AT & L)) requested that the Defense Science Board form a Task Force to assess current and future nuclear capabilities. Specifically, the Task Force terms of reference (TOR) are: " Assess the current plan for sustaining the nuclear weapons stockpile and make recommendations to provide for relevant future capabilities." Assess progress towards the goal of an integrated new triad of strike capabilities (nuclear, advanced conventional, and non-kinetic) within the new triad of strike, defense, and infrastructure." Examine the DoD role in defining needs in the nuclear weapons stockpile and recommend changes in institutional arrangements to ensure an appropriate DoD role." Examine a wide range of alternative institutional arrangements that could provide for more efficient management of the nuclear enterprise." Examine plans to transform the nuclear weapons production complex to provide a capability to respond promptly to changes in the threat environment with new designs or designs using previously tested nuclear components." Examine approaches to replacing weapons in the stockpile, over time, with weapons that are simpler to manufacture and that can be sustained with a smaller, less complex, less expensive design, development, certification and production enterprise.
