As potential nuclear weapon use has become top of mind to many through the specter of Russian aggression in Ukraine and threats from North Korea and China, it is important to assess the potential impacts of nuclear weapons on our communication and control infrastructure. In this talk Dr. Petrosky will describe various ways in which nuclear weapon detonations can affect communication systems.  He proposes ideas needed to sustain communications systems following nuclear weapons use.

In this talk Dr. Petrosky will describe various ways in which nuclear weapon detonations can affect communication systems.  He proposes ideas needed to sustain communications systems following nuclear weapons use.

Biography:

President and co-founder of a think tank dedicated to emphasizing the importance of strategic and nuclear deterrence through effective research, education, and consulting. He is responsible for organizational focus and developing and achieving strategic objectives aligned with the organizational mission and sponsors. His expertise is in nuclear weapons effects, especially those associated electronics and electrical systems. He has twenty years’ experience in education and research as a graduate faculty member and 3 years at the undergraduate level in government universities. He established research-oriented coursework and collaborative research integrating university, DoD, and national laboratory research in support of nuclear weapons survivability and sustainment efforts.  He developed, managed, and sustained an ABET accredited nuclear engineering program serving the unique military and civilian advanced education requirements for the DoD, including establishing multiple threads of research and engineer efforts for advance electronics and materials research spanning nuclear weapon diagnostics, debris analysis, electronic and material response, and effects. His recognized leadership includes providing expertise to 4 committees reviewing development of nuclear modernization and qualification efforts, 14 years as an external review committee chair, and establishing and directing an AFIT level center with $2.4M/year in external research support.
