Aiming Area Concept
Aiming Area Concept : "A new planning concept of area vulnerability, the 'Aiming Area Concept,' was developed by FCDA during 1957. It is a more realistic basis for planning nonmilitary defensive measures in line with the destructive power of nuclear weapons. It recognizes the fact that many geographical areas in the United States contain multiple potential targets. Advisory Bulletin 214 defined an 'aiming area' as a geographical area in which an emeny would probably place one or more nuclear weapons to assure the destruction of the target". (FCDA, 1957 Annual Report, p. 1)
