Abstract
- The article looks at the efforts to the U.S. government to protect the country against atomic attack, air or otherwise. It highlights a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) study for the Air Force, titled "Project Lincoln," which was a scientific analysis of the country's vulnerability to attack and what to do about it. Radar is believed to be the key to the country's atomic defense. It mentions the recommendation of the U.S. Department of Defense to build a mobile radar net that would consist of radar-equipped, high-flying patrol planes.
