Research abstract
THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A MANUAL FOR PROGRAM MANAGERS TO IMPROVE IMPLEMENTATION OF DOD INSTRUCTION 4245.4, "ACQUISITION OF NUCLEAR SURVIVABLE SYSTEMS." THIS INSTRUCTION PROVIDES GENERAL MANAGEMENT AND DOCUMENTATION GUIDANCE FOR NUCLEAR SURVIVABILITY AND HARDNESS ACTICITIES. THE MANUAL WILL PROVIDE PROGRAM MANAGERS WITH INFORMATION ON THE PROGRAMMATIC ASPECTS OF DOD 4245.4, MAKING REFERENCE TO SOURCES WHERE ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION CAN BE OBTAINED. SEVERAL EXISTING FACTORS ADVERSELY EFFECT THE COMPREHENSIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NUCLEAR SURVIVABILITY REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING A LACK OF DETAILED KNOWLEDGE BY PROGRAM MANAGERS OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS EFFECTS, AND THE UNAVAILABILITY OF SURVIVABILITY AND HARDNESS GUIDANCE IN ONE COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENT.
