Abstract
The design of complex systems subject to the effects of a nuclear explosion is a critical issue, particularly due to the variety of phenomena generated by the explosion. The major effects which are to be considered in a low altitude nuclear explosion include: mechanical effects, thermal effects, nuclear radiations, and electromagnetic pulse. The discipline concerned with analysis, design and production of systems to resist the effects of a nuclear explosion is termed Nuclear Hardening. The paper provides an overview on the effects of a nuclear explosion and on the consequences that they can have on complex systems. The methodology applicable to weapon systems such as tanks, armoured vehicles and war ships, is described.
