Page 189 - Assistant to the Director of Defense Research and Engineering in the Office of the Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1963.
Page 95 - Systems concepts being examined include endoatmospheric and exoatmospheric defenses. The integration of these into a multi-tiered defense in depth provides a logical and evolutionary growth path for BMD to a wide range of future options to counter a continued buildup of the Soviet threat in both quantity and quality.

Page 103 - Device (DMD and FIST DMD) will continue to be the "forward entry devices" in AFATDS and are "not" part of the AFATDS funding program. Lastly, AFATDS represents the Army's first automated program that is truly "software driven". Specifically, prior to any hardware consideration, user requirements must be accurately defined and then translated, through software development, into a DOD higher order level language (Ada). Once the user software Is written, then the hardware will be selected. This approach...

Page 29 - R&D programs and for operations. AirLand Battle is already being implemented with the forces and equipment now in the field However, the full development of the power of this concept depends on the exploitation of emerging technologies in sensors to see deep, in smart munitions to strike deep, and in data processing and telecommunications to rapidly manage these resources. Our scientific and technology base in the US uniquely positions us to do this and. thus, to establish a major advantage over...
