  • Abstract
    A one-way communication and centralized control system has been designed to meet preattack warning requirements by automatically turning on speakers in schools, factories, hospitals, public buildings, and community shelters. The postattack requirements of jam-free communications that cannot be intercepted by the enemy — radiation sensing, damage assessment, and determining areas of survivors — can easily be met by one man reading a tape in a civil defense control center
