Abstract:

The Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (TW/AA) System is intended to provide our leaders with timely, unambiguous warning in the event of a missile or atmospheric attack and to provide information concerning the size and intent of such an attack so that a determination can be made of the most appropriate response. TW/AA System performance is critical to our National Command Authorities (NCA) strategic decisionmaking, force survivability, and assurance of retaliation.
