The semi...

I remember reading an article saying that back in the early 90s, part of our JSTARS post-nuclear infrastructure would involve placing everyone involved in the launching of nuclear weapons from brigadier general on up (only for the military, I think...not sure if civilian officials are included) in semis that would roam the Interstate Highway System as mobile command centers to ensure survivability. Seeing as how this movie came out in 1992, would the semi have been based on this concept? After all, movies use sytems that are still in the development stage all the time, like the canceled Comanches in Hulk and the OICW in, well, a whole of of scifi movies in the 90s, etc.
