THE ARMY IS CONCERNED ABOUT PRESERVING THE NUCLEAR HARDNESS OF TACTICAL EQUIPMENT AFTER IT HAS BEEN PRODUCED AND FIELDED. WHILE CONTRACTORS ARE REQUIRED TO DEVELOP IN INFORMATION ON MAINTAINING NUCLEAR HARDNESS OF EQUIPMENT IN THE FIELD, THIS INFORMATION MUST BE INTEGRATED INTO EQUIPMENT MANUALS, PROVISIONING TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION AND OTHER ILS ELEMENTS. XMCO WILL FIRST BECOME MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND THE MEANS THAT ARE TAKEN TO ILS IMPLICATION OF MAINTAINING NUCLEAR H WEAPONS AND THE MEANS THAT ARE TAKEN TO HARDEN EQUIPMENT AG AGAINST THOSE EFFECTS. XMCO WILL THAN ANLYZE THE ILS IMPLICATIONS OF MAINTAINING NUCLEAR HARDNESS FEATURES IN EQUIPMENT AND DEVELOP GENERAL PRINCIPAL FOR INTEGRATING NUCLEAR SURVIVABILITY CONSIDERATIONS INTO EACH ILS ELEMENT . THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY AN XCMO STUDY TEAM WITH A PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR, SUPERVISED AND GUIDED BY A CORPORATEVICE PRESIDENT AND A REVIEW COMMITTEE TO ASSURE MEETING THE TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES OF THIS SBIR PROJECT.
