guard our dties egainst atomic destruction. Their range coruid
force attatkeri to jettijson atom bombs at a safe distance from
large population center Nike probably will destroy the planes
without setting oft the bomb. But if a missile should detonate an
A-bomb in the air, there will be little or no damage to the territory
below, according to findings of Nevada nuclear tests.
Nike's complex radar equipment accounts for the standardized
shape of the W-acre missile sites. Each site is dumbbell-shaped,
because the radar units must be separate but in a straight line of
sight. For this reason a level strip of land 3,000 to 16,000 feet long
connects the two bells of the dumbbell. One bell holds barracks,
administration buildings, and most of the radar apparatus while the
other has the missile launchers and fueling area.
These strict land requirements created much civilian ill-will
toward Nike. The Army had to find and buy choice land near cities,
a costly business in this era of burgeoning suburbs. The land had to
be in the right place, too, so the defense circle of Nike bases around
each city would be complete.
Neighboring civilians also were apprehensive over the Nike sites
being so close to their homes, despite assurances the missile will not
. be fired except during enemy attack. (All test firing is done at the
Red Canyon Range in New Mexico.)
CZach Nike base represents a big investment some $3,000,000 in
equipment for the government. The investment in man
power is heavy, too. A Nike battery is manned by more than
100 officers and men, two thirds of whom are technicians trained
at a cost of $20,000 each.
Many of these missileers are no happier about their assignments
than civilians are about their presence. Manning an isolated missile
site is lonely, and there's little feeling of achievement about a job
which consists mostly of waiting. GI resentment is high, too, be
cause married men must live within 15 minutes of their battery,
even though no family housing is available at the sites proper.
It's little wonder that keeping personnel is one of the greatest
problems of the Nike program, with private industry picking off
large numbers of the highly trained technicians when enlistment
periods expire.
Nike has plenty of other problems. Not long ago the nation was
startled by a fierce intra-service battle over its usefulness. The Air
Force, which controls all missiles with ranges of more than 200
miles, charged that Nike is a "fizzle," inadequate for fighting long
range bombers. 1 Favoring its own Talos missile for anti-aircraft
defense, the Air Force declared Nike couldn't hit its target often
enough, was too slow, flew too low, had too short a range, could be
jammed by the enemy, and was subject to human error while being
guided to its target.
The Army stuck up for its missile. Army Secretary Wilber
Brucker and Chief of Staff Maxwell Taylor both vowed confidence
in Nike and insisted the Ajax can smash any plane now flying.
At the height of the controversy, the Army staged a demonstra
tion test at White Sands. While newsmen watched, eight Nike
missiles were fired at eight speeding Firebee drone planes. If the
targets had been heavy bombers, six would have been destroyed.
The fight ended when the Defense Department announced com
plete confidence in Nike and gave the go-ahead for continued de
velopment of the Hercules and Zeus models.
Some experts still insist Nike has drawbacks. But one over
whelming argument favoring Nike is that it is ready right now to
defend our cities. All other missiles are still being developed.
0 Sine Nike is a pioneer weapon, more effective missiles will make
it seem crude in years to come. But at this very moment, Nike is
ready for use, warning potential aggressors not to attack the U.S.
for thf t reason alone, it's indispensable.
