Project AB - Test & Simulation Technology - Development of effective, survivable, and affordable weapon systems requires a robust testing and simulation capability to support acquisition managers and decision makers. This project develops, provides and maintains unique DoD test and simulation facilities and enabling technologies that are used by the defense agencies, the Services and other federal agencies to evaluate the impact of hostile environments from conventional, nuclear and other special weapons on military or civilian systems and targets. These facilities provide blast, thermal, electromagnetic pulse, ionizing radiation and radio frequency propagation environments and testbeds to support DoD and national test requirements. This project leverages fifty years of testing expertise to investigate weapons effects and target response to a spectrum of hostile environments that could be created by proliferant nations or terrorist organizations with access to advanced conventional or weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, biological and chemical).

The project includes the upgrade of existing simulators to extend their utility and life, the decommissioning of obsolete simulators, and the development of new simulators, when required, to compensate as much as possible for the lack of underground testing (UGT). Additionally, it provides the innovative, enabling technologies that make simulator enhancements and new facilities technically feasible and cost effective. Specific programs in this project include: decommissioning of one radiation test center in California and two in Maryland; consolidation at existing test centers in California (1) and Tennessee (1), including the development, construction and checkout of the new DECADE x-ray facility; development of communications and radar propagation effects simulators, and infrared and optical scene generators; partnership with Sandia National Laboratories (DOE) to develop technologies in energy storage, power flow, plasma switches, debris shields, and radiation sources that are applicable to stockpile stewardship and DoD strategic systems sustainment; characterization, optimization and operation of the Large Blast/Thermal Simulator (LBTS) at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), including the demonstration of a non-ideal airblast simulation capability; operation and maintenance of the ARES electromagnetic pulse (EMP) facility at Kirtland AFB; and target defeat assessments for precision-guided and special weapons against Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) related targets.

The project provides test beds for full- and sub-scale tests that focus on weapon-target interaction with fixed hardened facilities to include hardened above-ground bunkers, cut-and-cover facilities and deep underground tunnels. This effort supports the Services'

Project AC - Weapons Systems Lethality - Building upon core DSWA nuclear competencies in nuclear effects and target response, this project addresses the lethality of the full spectrum of weapons, including nuclear and advanced conventional weapons, against the target base of today and tomorrow -- ranging from ultra-hard underground facilities to above ground, unhardened surface facilities and other special facilities that may be associated with the production, storage or deployment of weapons of mass destruction. Helping to maintain the continued effectiveness of the nuclear deterrent, this project also seeks to provide decision makers and warfighters expanded conventional weapon options against well-protected, high-priority targets. The program relies extensively on advanced numerical methods, as well as laboratory scale experiments, intermediate and full-scale field tests and operational test data to quantify functional and physical damage criteria and collateral effects. Project results will be provided to operational planners through analytic prediction tools, multimedia hypertext databases, and technical manuals. Central to this support is an automated expert system to assist in pre-strike target planning and post-strike battle damage assessment. Technology developed in this project will also enable civil agencies to assess engineering designs to mitigate direct and collateral damage from terrorist attacks such as occurred at the Oklahoma City Federal Building and Khobar towers attack in Saudia Arabia. Additionally, the technology developed directly supports force protection issues.

On a broader scale, improvements in weapon effects and target response codes will be used to upgrade and expand physics-based modeling and simulation in support of Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) under Project AE. These improved codes include: coupled finite difference-finite element codes, structure-medium interaction codes, groundshock propagation codes suitable for jointed and/or layered media and high fidelity gas dynamic codes capable of predicting the transport of hazardous aerosol clouds over complex terrain. The understanding of weapon-target interaction resulting from this project will support the generation of weapon system requirements for the changing worldwide target base and provide a quantitative basis for planning contingency operations against high value targets. It will also improve the understanding of target/weapon interactions and their consequences for battle damage prediction and assessment. This project also includes the Electro-Thermal Chemical (ETC) gun advanced technology and projectile lifting body programs per Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Navy; ETC gun technologies for the direct-fire applications, per MOA with the Army; the development of microwave source technology for warfighter applications; and the development of high energy density capacitors for compact energy storage on mobile weapon platforms.

Project AG--Scientific Computations & Information Systems. This project provides High Performance Computing (HPC), computational databases, information products, and advanced numerical models that enable DSWA's customers, researchers, and RDT&E contractors to answer questions about nuclear and advanced special weapons effects. Applications, required by the warfighters, involve packaging nuclear data and physical understanding into advanced computational and information products that enable new capabilities for warfighter interaction and visualization. Models, codes, and information products are developed to aid the design of experiments, predict types and levels of measurements required, establish system design requirements, assess performance, and provide system-specific predictions of weapons effects to DoD planners. Nuclear issues often require use of advanced computational resources, e.g., for investigation of the physics of weapon-target interactions, and for extrapolating test results into areas for which tests are no longer possible. This has required DSWA to develop a world-class high performance computing architecture with high bandwidth communications. This capability, currently with a hub at Los Alamos National Laboratory, is scheduled to transition to the new DoD HPC architecture over the FYDP. DSWA's Data Archival and Retrieval Enhancement (DARE) information system (a hierarchical database tailored to the specific needs of the researcher, the system designer, and developer) is supported by this project. This project funds the "graybeard" efforts for collection of unique and potentially perishable nuclear data with appropriate prioritization based on technical value. The "Alliance", a collaboration involving DSWA, DoD and other non-DoD organizations with nuclear research interests, resources, and missions, has been constituted as a mechanism for identifying cost effective, cooperative approaches for ensuring data preservation and other research and development matters of mutual interest. The principal thrusts respond to warfighter requirements for survivable systems and effective weapons in the Joint Warfighting Technology Areas of Discriminate Attack, Global Reach, and Counterproliferation.

Project AI - Hard Target/Tunnel Defeat & Nevada Test Site (NTS) Sustainment

The United States and its allies face a growing threat related to critical military targets hidden within and shielded by hardened, deeply buried tunnel complexes which house battle management facilities, command, control, and communications facilities, theater ballistic missiles and their transporter-erector-launchers (TELs), and biological/chemical/nuclear weapons production or storage facilities. An objective of this program is to examine the existing U.S. and Allied capabilities to hold hardened, deeply buried tunnel targets at risk, thereby defining a current performance baseline. Any deficiencies will be identified and the ability of planned systems to address these deficiencies will be assessed. Finally, new technologies needed to mitigate remaining shortfalls will be evaluated as candidates for new hard target defeat acquisitions. Activities respond to priorities by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology (OUSD(A&T)) Hard and Deeply Buried Target Defeat Capability Initiative and U.S. Forces, Korea. Efforts in this program provide part of the technology base needed for counterproliferation activities conducted in other DoD programs.

The Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) on Stockpile Stewardship implemented an indefinite moratorium on underground nuclear testing while requiring retention of the capability to resume testing at Presidential direction. DSWA has complied with this policy by realigning the previously existing underground test program to emphasize non-nuclear weapons test technology and facility development, and to conduct a program for an orderly decommissioning and mothballing of the national underground nuclear test assets. The following major tasks will satisfy this requirement: (1) continue test complex shutdown, continue tunnel stabilization and preservation; (2) continue environmental characterization; (3) document testbed design and construction methodology; (4) maintain UGT readiness through joint test organization activities at NTS including counterproliferation and hard target defeat testing; and (5) support SOCOM efforts to develop tactics and techniques for JCS Joint Warfighter Capabilities of Discriminate Attack and Counterproliferation. Project AI is linked to Project AB, through which its testing is conducted, and to Project AC which leverages its weapons work.

R-1 ITEM NOMENCLATURE
Defense Special Weapons Agency; 0602715H

Project AM - Combating Terrorism - Terrorism has been an international problem for many years, but recent events have greatly increased the awareness of the domestic vulnerabilities to terrorism. The World Trade Center, Oklahoma City, and Saudi bombings have vividly illustrated the immediacy of the threat and the necessity that the U.S. be better prepared to prevent and respond to them. The extensive data base and expertise on nuclear and conventional weapons effects acquired over the last fifty years by the Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) constitute a unique foundation for predicting the explosive environments due to blast effects as a basis for forensic investigations. The creation of this project reflects the Congressional intent to adapt and make available DSWA technology and expertise to reduce the vulnerability of U.S. forces and infrastructure to terrorist events and enhance the capabilities of U.S. law enforcement authorities. Research in this area supports the JCS Joint Warfighter Capability of Counterproliferation.

Project AN - Thermionics - Meeting national objectives in both the military and civilian areas will require large capacity (40-100kW) nuclear space power systems having long lifetimes. Potential applications have been identified by the Air Force and NASA. The Air Force "New World Vistas" study, dated 15 December 1995, cites specific requirements for space nuclear power to accomplish force projection from space. NASA has identified requirements for power and propulsion for contemplated deep space missions and manned exploration. The objectives of DSWA's Advanced Thermionics Program are to advance the state of the art of thermionic power conversion in the United States, to develop high performance and highly reliable thermionic converters that provide high output power per unit of system mass, to demonstrate the capabilities of these thermionic converters, to show their feasibility for use in thermionic systems, and to develop corresponding system level conceptual designs. This effort supports the Defense Technology Area Plan for Space Platforms.

Project AQ - Deep Digger - This project proposes to develop a "Deep Digger" design for attacking hard targets such as leadership or C3 Bunkers, underground factories, or weapon storage facilities. The U.S. Services have identified a need to defeat such hard and buried targets. Current weapons have only limited capability against these targets. A more effective penetrator capability such as that claimed by the inventor of "Deep Digger" is required.

This effort is responsive to Special Operations Forces interests as well as the consolidated Mission Need Statement of the U.S. Air Force Combat Command and the U.S. Strategic Command. The deep digger system would be delivered by a guided munition airframe such as used by the Air Force and the Navy. As an integrated weapon, this concept has application as a breeching tool.

Project AR - Johnston Atoll Remediation - DSWA is currently managing the environmental restoration of a 24-acre site on Johnston Island which is contaminated with plutonium from atmospheric nuclear weapon missile aborts in 1962. The technology developed and used by DSWA over the years is demonstrably successful; in two more years the volume of contaminated soil (dredged, filled, and compacted coral) will be reduced from 180,000 metric tons to 29,000 metric tons. That technology is reaching the limits of its effectiveness, and an additional process, yet to be identified, is necessary to further reduce the volume. The clean portion of the soil is available for use on Johnston Atoll. DSWA plans to dispose of the waste at the Nevada Test Site. With removal of the waste from Johnston Atoll, the 24-acre site can be returned to unrestricted use. At a current cost of $1.0 million per thousand metric tons of waste, the expense of shipping and disposing of the remaining low-level radioactive waste mandates that it be the smallest volume attainable.

To that end, DSWA has undertaken a program to identify and employ an innovative waste-reduction technology (or combination of technologies) to reduce the volume of waste to a manageable and less-expensive 5,000 metric tons. Through a series of vendor bench-scale and pilot-scale technology demonstrations with the support of the Department of Energy facilities at the Nevada Test Site, DSWA hopes to identify or develop in 1997 an effective technology that can be scaled up to meet the unique conditions at Johnston Atoll.

FY 1997 Plans

Technology Development ($2,000K)

Identify, develop and employ a waste-reduction technology

Project AX - TOPAZ International Program - The TOPAZ International Program was the only U.S. space nuclear reactor technology program. Restructured in FY96, it focused on transferring advanced Russian space nuclear power piecepart and component level technologies to the United States. This program emphasized obtaining state-of-the-art Russian thermionic hardware and fabrication processes and ensuring that those processes were well understood by U.S. scientists and engineers. The House and Senate Defense Authorization committees did not support the FY 97 budget request and have terminated the TOPAZ International Program.

FY 1996 Accomplishments

Technology Transfer ($8,500K)

Negotiated and signed the first contracts between the U.S. DoD and Russian Institutes for space nuclear reactor power technologies.

Project AY - Bioenvironmental Hazards Research - This project provides for research on bioenvironmental hazards of specific DoD concern. Areas of research include remediation, human health effects and risk evaluation, pollution prevention, waste stream treatment, and impact assessment of atmospheric emissions. Funds were provided as a Congressional addition in FY 1994, FY 1995 and FY 1997, and were intended to continue efforts begun by a grant in FY 1989 to Tulane and Xavier Universities. Additional funding was made available from existing DSWA resources to comply with Congressional direction to continue this effort in FY 1996.

FY 1996 Accomplishment ($5,000K)

The research emphasized the impact of environmental pollutants on human and ecological systems. Priority was given to pollutants of particular concern to the defense community such as radioactive material, and agents associated with chemical and biological defense. Research will include disposal, detection, storage, separation, decomposition (bioremediation) and environmental hazards. Work has not yet begun due to late release of FY 1996 funds from OSD. Award of grant is anticipated before September 1997.

FY 1997 Plans ($5,000)

Efforts anticipated from the FY 1997 budget appropriation will continue to follow the intent of the original program by supporting a collaborative research program which develops a better understanding of the effects of bionevironmental hazards of pollutants on the human and ecological systems. Of particular concern is research which may reveal possible synergistic effects of pollutants on organisms and ecosystems.
