Weapon
Engagement
Zone
In air defense, airspace of defined dimensions within which the responsibility
normally rests with a particular weapon system.
Weapons
Allocation
Designation of a certain weapon to attack a certain threat after Engagement
Authorization is given.
Weapons
Assignment
In air defense, the process by which weapons are assigned to individual air
weapons controllers for use in accomplishing an assigned mission. Assignment
of a particular interceptor to a particular target.
Weapons
Commitment
Authorization to allocate certain weapons to designated targets thus permitting
checklist actions to be taken.
Weapons Control The varying degree of formal control an area air defense commander exercises
over all air defense weapons in his area of responsibility.
Weapons
Enablement
Authorization to place a weapon into its most ready state but prior to release.
Weapons Free A weapon control order imposing a status whereby weapons systems may be
fired at any target not positively recognized as friendly.

321
Weapons Hold A weapon control order imposing a status whereby weapons systems may be
fired in self-defense or in response to a formal order.
Weapons
Initiation
State when a weapon system is to be placed in the highest state of readiness
shy of weapon allocation. It is possible to go direct to weapons allocation or
release without first initiation or allocation.
Weapons of Mass
Destruction
(WMD)
In arms control usage, weapons that are capable of a high order of destruction
and/or of being used in such a manner as to destroy large numbers of people.

Control
That set of assessment, decision, and direction functions normally implemented
automatically to assure that individual weapons are pointed, fired, and guided as
necessary to intercept the designated attackers.
Weapon Target
Assignment
(WTA)
The assignment of an interceptor to a particular threat object. In Midcourse, a
WTA requires in-flight communication between the Battle Manager and an inflight interceptor. To ensure the Battle Manager maintains the ephemeris of the
interceptor, the WTA will constraint the interceptor’s flight error.
Weapons Tight A weapon control order imposing a status whereby weapons systems may be
fired only at targets recognized as hostile.
Weapons System
Employment
Concept
A description in broad terms, based on established outline characteristics, of the
application of a particular equipment or weapon system within the framework of
tactical concept and future doctrines.

Range (WTR)
Beginning at Vandenberg AFB, CA, this range stretches halfway around the
globe where it meets the Eastern Test Range. An array of launch complexes,
sensors, and tracking sites makes up the Western Test Range. It is operated by
the Space and Missile Test Organization (SAMTO), a unit of AFSPACECOM as
of 1 October 1990.

World-Wide
Military
Command and

(WWMCCS)
The system that provides the means for operational direction and technical
administrative support involved in the function of command and control of U.S.
military forces. The system comprises: The NMCS - The command and control
systems of the unified and specified commands - The WWMCCS-related
management/information systems of the headquarters of the Military
Departments - The command and control systems of the headquarters of the
service component commands - The command and control support systems of
DoD agencies. The system furnishes a multi-path channel of secure
communications to transmit information from primary sources to those who must
make decisions (including the President) and to transmit their decisions (in the
form of military orders) to subordinates.

X-ON/X-OFF Transmitter On/Transmitter Off (Telecomm/Computer term).
X-Ray Laser
(XRL)
A laser that generates a beam or beams of x-rays. Also called an "X-raser."
X-Rays Electromagnetic radiation of high energy, which results from either the release of
energy from electrons changing orbits about the nucleus (discrete) or the inelastic collision of charged particles with the electromagnetic field of the nucleus.
X-rays have wavelengths shorter than those in the ultraviolet region, e.g., less
than 10E-6 cm or 100 Angstroms. Materials at very high temperatures (millions
of degrees) emit such radiations; they are then called thermal x-rays. As
generally produced by x-ray machines, they are "bremsstrahlung" resulting from
the interaction of electron of 1 kilo electron-volt or more energy with a metallic
target. (See Electromagnetic Radiation and Thermal X-Rays.)

Yield (or Energy
Yield)
The total effective energy released in a nuclear (or atomic) explosion. It is
usually expressed in terms of the equivalent tonnage of TNT required to produce
the same energy release in an explosion. The total energy yield is manifested
as nuclear radiation, thermal radiation, and shock (and blast) energy, the actual
distribution being primarily dependent upon the medium in which the explosion
occurs, as well as the type of weapon and the time after detonation.
Zero Point The location of the center of a burst of a nuclear weapon at the instant of
detonation. The zero point may be in the air or on or beneath the surface of
land or water, dependent upon the type of burst; it is thus to be distinguished
from ground zero.
ZIF Zero Insertion Force.
