The Neutron or enhanced radiation weapon can be seen as an improvement to NATO capabilities to carry out its strategy or a technological premise for changing that strategy. Proponents of change have ignored the connectedness of all elements of theater nuclear and conventional forces for deterrence, and intra-war deterrence defense. The neutron weapon can be valuable for improving some components of strategy but cannot solve all of NATO's strategic problems. (Author)
