An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Weapon storage areas (WSA), also known as special ammunition storage (SAS), were extremely well guarded and well defended locations where NATO nuclear weapons were stored during the Cold War era. In most situations, the WSA or SAS areas were located inside the perimeter of an army barracks or an air base in NATO territory, but in a few cases they were located deep inside wooded areas and miles away from a military base. At present, few WSAs are still operational as modern day special weapons are stored in the floors of concrete aircraft shelters and placed under 24/7 electronic surveillance.

  • Sondermunitionslager (englisch Special Ammunition Storage, SAS) sind verbunkerte logistische Einrichtungen des US-Militärs, in denen US-Atomsprengköpfe gelagert, gewartet und bewacht werden. Auch NATO-Staaten, die selbst nicht über Atomwaffen verfügen, unterhalten im Rahmen ihrer Nuklearen Teilhabe SAS für die US-Kernwaffen, die im Falle eines Atomkrieges mit eigenen Trägersystemen (Flugzeuge, Raketen, Geschütze etc.) eingesetzt werden können. Die zuständige US-Militäreinheit war die 59th Ordnance Brigade. Die meisten dieser Lager in Europa wurden nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges im Laufe der 1990er Jahre aufgelöst. Heute noch bekannte und als Sondermunitionslager genutzte Bunkeranlagen für nukleare Gefechtsköpfe (Stand Anfang 2010) befinden sich in Belgien (Kleine Brogel), Deutschland (Fliegerhorst Büchel), Italien (Aviano und Ghedi-Torre), den Niederlanden (Volkel) und der Türkei (Incirlik Air Base) bei Stationierungsorten von Trägersystemen für taktische Atomwaffen.

  • Weapon storage areas (WSA), also known as special ammunition storage (SAS), were extremely well guarded and well defended locations where NATO nuclear weapons were stored during the Cold War era. In most situations, the WSA or SAS areas were located inside the perimeter of an army barracks or an air base in NATO territory, but in a few cases they were located deep inside wooded areas and miles away from a military base. Due to changes in the political landscape, the number of special weapons in Europe has been drastically decreased. Moreover, the introduction of the WS3 Weapon Storage and Security System has made WSAs obsolete. At present, few WSAs are still operational as modern day special weapons are stored in the floors of concrete aircraft shelters and placed under 24/7 electronic surveillance. (en)
