This is the final report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on the Deep Attack Weapons Mix Study (DAWMS) Methodology. Included is an annotated viewgraph report on Phase I (weapons optimization) as well as a letter report on the Phase II methodology (trade-offs of weapon-delivery platforms). The Task Force was charged to provide an independent assessment of the analytical tools and models employed in the DAWMS effort. The significant issue that the Task Force discovered in their review of DAWMS methodology is the great difficulty in realistically modeling large-scale joint military operations against opposing forces. As a result, the Task Force believes that it is important for the Department to move forward with the development of greatly improved approaches for modeling such large-scale operations. Only by such an advance will it be possible to evaluate the capabilities of various force-structure options as well as the impact of new tactics and weapon systems.

Time critical conventional strike from long standoff ranges into restricted or denied territory has been an operational, policy, and acquisition challenge for a long time. In situations in which time is not a factor and/or in which sufficient U.S. forces are deployed nearby, the U.S. has demonstrated its ability to strike at identified threats effectively. However, in situations in which time is a factor and no nearby forces are present, only two options are currently available-- nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile systems(ICBMs)/submarine/sea-launched ballistic missile systems (SLBMs) or no military action. This report recommends a course of action to ensure that there is an appropriate, effective time critical conventional strike option in place.
