Book Modernizing U S  Strategic Offensive Forces  The Administration s Program and Alternatives

Download or read book Modernizing U S Strategic Offensive Forces The Administration s Program and Alternatives written by and published by . 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.

Book Budgetary and Military Effects of the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks  START  Treaty

Download or read book Budgetary and Military Effects of the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks START Treaty written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memorandum summarizes an analysis of the costs and military effects of the proposed Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) treaty currently being negotiated by the United States and the Soviet Union. The proposed treaty would limit the total number of strategic warheads in various categories that each country could deploy. For the most part, however, the treaty would not limit production or deployment of particular weapon systems. Thus, by altering the number of older systems that are retired, the United States could accommodate the proposed START treaty while pursuing varying amounts of modernization of strategic offensive forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ronald E. Powaski offers the first complete, accessible history of the events, forces, and factors that have brought the world to the brink of a nuclear holocaust. He traces the evolution of the nuclear arms race from FDR's decision to develop an atomic bomb to Reagan's decision to continue its expansion in the 1980's. Focusing on the forces that have propelled the arms race and the reasons behind the repeated failures to check the proliferation of nuclear weapons, Powaski discusses such topics as the Manhattan Project, the decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima, the debate over whether to share atomic information, the effect of nuclear weapons on U.S. military and foreign policy, and the role of these weapons in arms control negotiations in the last five presidential administrations.

Book Milestones in Strategic Arms Control  1945 2000 United States Air Force Roles and Outcomes

Download or read book Milestones in Strategic Arms Control 1945 2000 United States Air Force Roles and Outcomes written by James M Smith and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compilation of 10 articles by frequently published arms-control experts captures the story of a young Air Force's initial (and limited) impact on arms-control negotiations and outcomes. It documents a growing awareness by the service that it was better to help craft the US position than merely to be a passive recipient. This book also highlights the lesson the Air Force belatedly learned in the early days of arms control: that it has to plan and budget for treaty implementation as aggressively as it works to protect its equities during treaty negotiations. When a treaty goes into effect, the Air Force needs to be ready to execute its responsibilities to ensure complete and timely treaty compliance. Though the Air Force did not seize a prominent role in the early days of post-war arms control, it made up for it quickly and forcefully as it gained a fuller appreciation of what was at stake.
