Nullifying Effectiveness of Weapons of Mass Destruction (NBC) Through Integrated Land, Air, Space-Based Sensors Analysis
Despite the best-combined efforts of the world's five major powers (U.S., Great Britain, France, Russia, and China), third world countries, rogue radical groups, and potential terrorist organizations continue their alarming proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) technologies. Many in the government view the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction as the biggest threat to national security. This paper presents a concept for a near-future application of an integrated land, air, and space-based system of sensors, detectors, and analysis to provide critical immediate warning, reporting, and situational updates of NBC attacks. The paper then describes a concept that has a greater potential to achieve the U.S.' objective of convincing our enemies that NBC weapons will be ineffective against us. The underlying assumption is that when the U.S. and its coaltion partners develop the capability to deny or limit the effects of an enemy NBC attack and can promise a devastatingly dispropotional retaliation, then enemy weapons of mass destruction will become ineffective and the threat of their use will propotionately decline.

Achieving Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Synergy Through Integrated Land-, Air-, and Space-Based Sensors and Analysis
This thesis presents a concept for a near-future application of an integrated land-, air-, and space-based system of sensors, detectors, and analysis to provide critical immediate warning, reporting, and situational updates of NBC attacks. It shows how much more efficient and effective this concept is as compared to the United States' current system of independent detectors and sensors operating separately at the various levels of command and control. Ultimately, it describes a concept that has a greater potential to achieve the United States' objective of convincing our enemies that NBC weapons will be ineffective against us. The U.S. Counter-Proliferation Initiative is the overarching strategy for countering the WMD threat. It focuses on prevention of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, deterrence of their use, and defense measures countering use. While these three arms of the Counter- Proliferation Initiative currently exist in separate operational bodies, they have yet to be linked in a way that will combine and, consequently, strengthen their efforts. What they lack is a system that allows all three elements of this initiative to operate simultaneously and synergistically to nullify the risk or loss of personnel and material from weapons of mass destruction usage. This thesis presents a concept to achieve this critically needed synergy.

Nullifying the Effectiveness of Weapons of Mass Destruction (NBC) Through Integrated Land, Air, and Space-Based Sensors and Analysis
"Despite the best-combined efforts of the world's five major powers (United States, Great Britain, France, Russia, and China), third world countries, rogue radical groups, and potential terrorist organizations continue their alarming proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) technologies. According to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction are 'the most overriding security interest of our time.' Supporting her statement, in recent testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, the directors of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency agreed that the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is the biggest threat to national security. LTG Patrick M. Hughes, director of the DIA, explained 'because chemical and biological weapons are generally easier to develop, hide, and employ than nuclear weapons,' they will be 'more widely proliferated and have a higher probability of being used over the next two decades."

Chemical Corps Smoke: Is There a Future in the Army of the Twenty-First Century?
From the thesis abstract: "Today's army is transitioning its warfighting focus from superiority of technology and industry to information dominance. If the Army's smoke generating organizations are going to remain viable, they must enhance the joint force's ability to win in future warfare. They must be able to achieve electromagnetic spectrum supremacy and meet the needs of the twenty first century joint force throughout the range of conflict. This twenty first century obscurant capability must be able to defeat and/or control reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA) sensors and targets at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of war. I present a comparison of the twenty-first century maneuver force smoke/obscurant requirements and point out where the Chemical Corps smoke and obscurants development plan meet these requirements in doctrine, training, leader development, organization, material, and soldiers (DTLOMS). I also suggest where the Chemical Corps needs to take further action to fill shortfalls in all twenty first century operational requirements. This study investigates whether Army smoke generating unites will remain a vital asset or become a liability to the twenty-first century join force. It also suggests obscurant mission changes through the spectrum of conflict on the future batttlefield."
