| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nuclear
utilization target selection (NUTS) is a theory regarding the use of
nuclear weapons often contrasted with mutually assured destruction
(MAD). NUTS theory at its most basic level asserts that it is possible
for a limited nuclear exchange to occur and that nuclear weapons are
simply one more rung on the ladder of escalation pioneered by Herman
Kahn. This leads to a number of other conclusions regarding the
potential uses of and responses to nuclear weapons. A counterforce
strike consists of an attack on enemy nuclear weapons meant to destroy
them before they can be utilized. A viable first strike capability would
require the ability to launch a 100% effective (or nearly so)
counterforce attack. Such an attack is made more difficult by systems
such as early warning radars which allow the possibility for rapid
recognition and response to a nuclear attack and by systems such as
submarine-launched ballistic missiles or road mobile nuclear missiles
(such as the Soviet SS-20) which make nuclear weapons harder to locate
and target. |
