This book was released on 1983 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1981, the Administration announced its plan to modernize all parts of the U.S. strategic deterrent. Representing the most comprehensive and far-reaching such effort in the past 20 years, the plan would expand and upgrade the triad of strategic "offensive" forces: land-based and sea-based intercontinental ballistic missiles plus long-range bombers. It would also improve the triad's communications and control systems, and strengthen U.S. defenses against attack by Soviet bombers. U.S. strategic forces are primarily intended to deter the Soviet Union from initiating a nuclear war. To do so, they must be able to survive a Soviet nuclear strike and retaliate in an appropriate and timely manner. In recent years, the Soviets have expanded and improved their strategic forces. The Administration apparently believes that in response the United States must increase not only the numbers of its forces and their chance of surviving a Soviet strike, but also their destructive capability, endurance, and responsiveness. The broad scope of the buildup and the relative share of the nation's resources to be devoted to defense in general has sparked debate, as has the high cost of individual weapons systems. Most recently, debate has centered on the Administration's proposal to deploy the MX missile. This study assesses the scope and costs of the Administration's planned modernization, taking into consideration the effects that arms control agreements could have on it. The study also considers proposals to modify the Administration's program by (1) dropping the MX missile, (2) focusing modernization efforts on submarine-based missiles rather than land-based missiles, or (3) terminating the B-1B bomber program in favor of improving existing bomber capability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States strategic forces are primarily intended to deter the Soviet Union from initiating a nuclear war. To do so, U.S. policy calls for them to be able to survive a Soviet nuclear strike and retaliate in an appropriate and timely manner. Since the 1960s, the Soviets have upgraded and significantly expanded the capabilities of their strategic forces. The Administration believes that in response the United States must increase not only the numbers of its forces and their chance of surviving a Soviet strike, but also their destructive capability, endurance, and responsiveness. Indeed, modernizing and upgrading the strategic forces and their associated command and control has been one of the highest priorities of the Administration's defense program. The Administration has already substantially completed one wave of strategic procurement, including the first 50 MX missiles to be placed in existing silos, B-1B bombers, and the majority of new Trident submarines. When fully fielded, these systems will increase available strategic warheads by roughly 25 percent above 1981 funded warhead levels. The Administration plans a second wave of procurement that may well cost more than the first. The broad scope of the program, coupled with its substantial cost and limits on Congressional willingness to increase total defense spending, is likely to generate sharp debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper discusses transition aspects of both offensive and defensive forces should the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) continue. The author argues that it would be to the advantage of the United States to maintain its current offensive orientation in parallel with defensive developments until the strategic competition enters a fundamentally different (and final) defensive deployment phase. Four key issues discussed are: (1) potential interactions between major new homeland defenses and those parts of U.S. and NATO strategy that incorporate less than all-out nuclear employment options; (2) defense suppression and how the United States schedules its SDI deployment options; (3) certain budgetary and management considerations; and (4) reasons the United States should maintain powerful offensive forces until relatively late in the homeland defense deployment game."--Rand abstracts.

This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Missile Defense Agency, "there has been an increase of over 1,200 additional ballistic missiles over the last 5 years. The total of ballistic missiles outside the United States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Russia and China has risen over 5,900. Hundreds of launchers and missiles are currently within the range of our deployed forces today." Russia and China are both engaged in aggressive modernization programs pointing hundreds of missiles of all sizes and ranges at the U.S., its allies, and our deployed forces. From the outset, the Obama administration substantially reduced the funding for missile defense and particularly for those capabilities that were to provide for the protection of the American territory and population centers. While U.S. strategic defenses have been reduced in numbers, and capabilities for the future have been abandoned, the threat to the U.S. homeland has grown, not just from North Korea and Iran, but from Putin's Russia, which has embarked on a strategic build-up of offensive and missile defense capabilities reminiscent of the Soviet days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report defines an illustrative U.S. nuclear force structure, strategy and posture that reflect an alternative deterrence construct for the 21st century. The 20th century world of bipolar power and U.S.-Soviet confrontation has rather suddenly changed into a multipolar world with numerous emerging bases of geopolitical, economic and military power. For the United States, deterring and defeating aggression in today's world depends a great deal less on projecting nuclear offensive threat and a great deal more on the skilled exercise of all the instruments of power, both 'soft' and 'hard.' Security, previously organized around bilateral confrontation, increasingly depends upon multilateral cooperation. As a part of this profound shift, the United States will reduce its reliance on nuclear weapons and consequently will seek to negotiate further reductions in the U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals following the ratification of the New START Treaty of 2011. In our illustrative plan, the U.S. over the next ten (10) years reduces its arsenal to a maximum of 900 total nuclear weapons and increases the warning and decision time over its smaller arsenal. These steps could be taken with Russia in unison through reciprocal presidential directives, negotiated in another round of bilateral arms reduction talks, or implemented unilaterally. In parallel, these two powers possessing the lion's share of the world's nuclear weapons would also work together to bring all the nuclear weapons countries to the negotiating table for the first in history multilateral negotiations to limit nuclear arms.

This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s emergence as a global economic superpower, and as a major regional military power in Asia and the Pacific, has had a major impact on its relations with the United States and its neighbors. China was the driving factor in the new strategy the United States announced in 2012 that called for a “rebalance” of U.S. forces to the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, China’s actions on its borders, in the East China Sea, and in the South China Sea have shown that it is steadily expanding its geopolitical role in the Pacific and having a steadily increasing impact on the strategy and military developments in other Asian powers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 Missile Defense Review - January 2019 According to a senior administration official, a number of new technologies are highlighted in the report. The review looks at "the comprehensive environment the United States faces, and our allies and partners face. It does posture forces to be prepared for capabilities that currently exist and that we anticipate in the future." The report calls for major investments from both new technologies and existing systems. This is a very important and insightful report because many of the cost assessments for these technologies in the past, which concluded they were too expensive, are no longer applicable.
