The United States'perception on deep-buried underground constructions
For a long time,the United States has been conducting deep-buried underground constructions and re-lated research.This paper systematically analyzed the US achievements in this area,and based on that,sorted out the characteristics of such constructions,compared the difference of the concepts of deep-buried underground con-struction and deep-buried hardened targets.Then,discussed the functions and purposes of US deep-buried under-ground installations,analyzed the capabilities of US earth-penetrating nuclear weapon arsenal to defeat deeply-bur-ied construction targets,and explored the uncertainties in predicting the effectiveness of strikes against deep-buried and hardened military targets.
