Counterproliferation (CP)
Actions to defeat the threat or use of weapons of mass destruction against the United States, U.S. Armed Forces, its allies, and partners.

Electromagnetic environment The spatial distribution of electromagnetic energy surrounding a given site. The electromagnetic environment may be expressed in terms of the spatial and temporal distribution of the electric field strength (volts per meter).

Nonproliferation (NP)
Actions to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by dissuading or impeding access to, or distribution of, sensitive technologies, material, and expertise.

## Surety The Controls, Procedures, And Actions That Assure Safety, Security, And Reliability.

Survivability criteria The criteria that establish the capability of a system and crew to avoid or withstand a man made hostile environment without suffering an abortive impairment of its ability to accomplish its designated mission.
