SOVIET ACQUISITION OF WESTERN TECHNOLOGY CAN BE DIRECTLY TRACED TO IMPROVEMENTS IN THEIR MILITARY CAPABILITY.

SOVIET ACQUISITION OF WESTERN TECHNOLOGY CAN BE DIRECTLY TRACED TO IMPROVEMENTS IN THEIR MILITARY CAPABILITY. HARDENING AND SURVIVABILITY TECHNOLOGY IS UNDOUBTEDLY HIGH ON THE ACQUISITION PRIORITY. IMPLEMENTATION OF DOD INSTRUCTION DODI 4245.4 - ACQUISITION OF NUCLEAR SURVIVABLE SYSTEMS WILL RESULT IN THE EXTENDED USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPON EFFECTS HARDENING AND SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY THROUGHOUT THE GOVERNMENT. NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR NWE H/S WILL BE DEVELOPED BY GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES AND BY PRIVATE INDUSTRY. THE MAJORITY OF THE NWE H/S TECHNOLOGY BASE RESULTS FROM EXTENSIVE RDT&E PROGRAM INVESTIMENTS AND CONTAINS SOPHISTICATED INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS WHICH PROVIDE THE U.S. WITH SIGNIFICANT MILITARY ADVANTAGES. EXTENSIVE PORTIONS OF THIS TECHNOLOGY IS UNCLASSIFIED AND SHOULD BE PROTECTED THROUGH EFFECTIVE CONTROLS TO LIMIT THE SOVIET COLLECTION. THE DEFENSE NUCLEAR AGENCY, BECAUSE OF ITS SUPPORT TO THE ATSD(AE) IN IMPLEMENTATION OF DODI 4245.4 AND ITS DOD LEADERSHIP ROLE IN NWE H/S RDT&E PROGRAMS, IS AN APPROPRIATE DOD ACTIVITY TO DEFINE THE CONTROLS. DURING PHASE ONE, THE ADEQUACY OF THE EXPORT CONTROL GUIDANCE IN THE MILITARILY CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY LIST FOR NWE H/S TECHNOLOGY WILL BE EXAMINED AND METHODOLOGIES DEFINED TO PRODUCE A DETAILED STRUCTURED TECHNOLOGY STATEMENT OF THE EXPORT CONTROL REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS CRITICAL MILITARY TECHNOLOGY.
