radiation but it is important to know the degree of this attermation

MS,

The Department of the Air Force is investigating the feasibility

of expanding Program 6.11 to provide for the measurement of thermal

under these conditions.. If the measurements indicate that the phenomena
of dust obscuration and clouds attenuate thermal radiation sufficiently
to allow a manned-aircraft to deliver the weappn, delivery techniques

may have to be predicated on the use of a surface burst weapon. If the
thermal radiation is too great when the above conditions prevail to allow

manned-aircraft delivery, then it is important that this fact be known
so that other delivery techniques may be established.
