Download or read book Project Management of the Davy Crockett Weapons System written by and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The task of writing the history of the development of the unique Davy Crockett weapons systems was received in June 1963. The Davy Crockett system was singularly appropriate for coverage in a historical monograph. This equipment was the first project managed item at this Headquarters; it was also the highest priority project ever assigned. The man-transportable atomic characteristic, together with other innovations and special requirements made it unique among projects for this organization. The task of writing this monograph was undertaken in March 1964. Due to unforeseen circumstances the project was re-directed, in June 1964, and restricted to only the techniques and activities of the project management organization; rather than a comprehensive history of the complete weapon. It is extremely difficult to draw any conclusions about the management of the Davy Crockett weapons systems' development, except to say, it was successful. This cursory opinion results from the fact that only a tattered remanent of documents concerning this vital activity exist. The Davy Crockett project office, upon its dissolution in September 1961, disposed of all of its correspondence, the greater part of its reports, and maintained only a representative sampling of technical reports. This narrative has been based completely upon these last documents. The special circumstances of writing this material, with a dearth of sources, was made easier by the aid and interest of the former deputy to the Special Assistant, Mr. George A. Hesse, Headquarters, U.S. Army Weapons Command. With the aid and advice of Mr. Hesse, and former members of the project staff, we have made every effort to make this report complete and accurate.

Download or read book Restricted Data written by Alex Wellerstein and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nuclear weapons, since their conception, have been the subject of secrecy. In the months after the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the American scientific establishment, the American government, and the American public all wrestled with what was called the "problem of secrecy," wondering not only whether secrecy was appropriate and effective as a means of controlling this new technology but also whether it was compatible with the country's core values. Out of a messy context of propaganda, confusion, spy scares, and the grave counsel of competing groups of scientists, what historian Alex Wellerstein calls a "new regime of secrecy" was put into place. It was unlike any other previous or since. Nuclear secrets were given their own unique legal designation in American law ("restricted data"), one that operates differently than all other forms of national security classification and exists to this day. Drawing on massive amounts of declassified files, including records released by the government for the first time at the author's request, Restricted Data is a narrative account of nuclear secrecy and the tensions and uncertainty that built as the Cold War continued. In the US, both science and democracy are pitted against nuclear secrecy, and this makes its history uniquely compelling and timely"--
Download or read book Whole World on Fire written by Lynn Eden and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whole World on Fire focuses on a technical riddle wrapped in an organizational mystery: How and why, for more than half a century, did the U.S. government fail to predict nuclear fire damage as it drew up plans to fight strategic nuclear war?U.S. bombing in World War II caused massive fire damage to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but later war plans took account only of damage from blast; they completely ignored damage from atomic firestorms. Recently a small group of researchers has shown that for modern nuclear weapons the destructiveness and lethality of nuclear mass fire often--and predictably--greatly exceeds that of nuclear blast. This has major implications for defense policy: the U.S. government has underestimated the damage caused by nuclear weapons, Lynn Eden finds, and built far more warheads, and far more destructive warheads, than it needed for the Pentagon's war-planning purposes. How could this have happened? The answer lies in how organizations frame the problems they try to solve. In a narrative grounded in organization theory, science and technology studies, and primary historical sources (including declassified documents and interviews), Eden explains how the U.S. Air Force's doctrine of precision bombing led to the development of very good predictions of nuclear blast--a significant achievement--but for many years to no development of organizational knowledge about nuclear fire. Expert communities outside the military reinforced this disparity in organizational capability to predict blast damage but not fire damage. Yet some innovation occurred, and predictions of fire damage were nearly incorporated into nuclear war planning in the early 1990s. The author explains how such a dramatic change almost happened, and why it did not. Whole World on Fire shows how well-funded and highly professional organizations, by focusing on what they do well and systematically excluding what they don't do well, may build a poor representation of the world--a self-reinforcing fallacy that can have serious consequences. In a sweeping conclusion, Eden shows the implications of the analysis for understanding such things as the sinking of the Titanic, the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and the poor fireproofing in the World Trade Center.
