Assessing priorities towards achieving dependable and secure computing in the U.S. ICBM Force / Borja, Lauren J   Journal Article
Borja, Lauren J Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This paper is an assessment of cybersecurity principles within the nuclear arsenal of the United States, specifically the nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile forces. Ongoing modernizations will introduce new components, and potentially new vulnerabilities, into U.S. nuclear forces. The principles for achieving secure operations from the fields of computer security, dependable computing, and systems analysis, and the extent to which they are addressed within the management of U.S. nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles is discussed. This paper then considers the types of vulnerabilities that may be overlooked during modernizations, followed by a critique of U.S. nuclear command and control policy choices that could make the consequences of these vulnerabilities more catastrophic.

China, Nuclear security and terrorism: implications for the United States / Grogan, Steven   Journal Article
Grogan, Steven Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract This article outlines Chinese strategic nuclear forces and the Chinese philosophical approach to nuclear security. It then focuses on the domestic conditions in China which could precipitate vulnerabilities to its nuclear forces. From information about internal security conditions in China, specific internal threats to Chinese nuclear security will be derived. Based on these threats, several outsider and insider scenarios will be outlined involving a variety of terrorist or terrorist related behaviors. These notional scenarios will include everything from overrun or attack, to diversion, to cyber terrorism, to sabotage. The article will then cover what these scenarios and the possible Chinese reaction to them may mean for the security, military and diplomatic strategies of the United States

Cold start doctrine: the conventional challenge to South Asian stability / Khan, Zafar   Journal Article
Khan, Zafar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract A reaction by the Indian military to a series of violent crises with Pakistan, beginning with the Kargil conflict of 1999, Cold Start Doctrine (CSD) envisions limited attacks on Pakistan territory as non-nuclear retaliation against asymmetric and proxy attacks. Cold Start Doctrine and Pakistani responses show that the South Asian region is still adjusting to the consequences of overt nuclearization in 1998. India and Pakistan remain prone to arms racing and vulnerable to destablization. CSD is part of an action-reaction process, increasing risks of war and the risk that nuclear weapons would be used should war occur. It worsens the natural tension between India's desire for resolution through conventional conflict and Pakistan's declared willingness to escalate to nuclear first use. For India, CSD increases incentives to abandon its previous commitment to nuclear No First Use. Probable Pakistani responses include development of tactical nuclear weapons, forward deployment of nuclear forces, and pre-delegation of launch authority, increasing its problems of force protection, command and control, and escalation control. This article concludes, based on reliable sources, that neither of these war-like strategies benefits the two nuclear rivals as each state's policy options confront certain issues that invite strategic instability in South Asian region and should be reconsidered.

Evolving Russian concept of strategic deterrence: risks and responses / Fink, Anya Loukianova   Journal Article
Fink, Anya Loukianova Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Over the last decade, Russia has been putting into operation its vision of strategic deterrence, a doctrinal approach built on a demonstrated spectrum of capabilities and a resolve to use military force. Russia’s strategic deterrence is conceptually different from its Western namesake in that it is not limited to nuclear weapons.

NATO nuclear forces and the new nuclear threats / Pilat, Joseph F   Journal Article
Pilat, Joseph F Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract The North Atlantic Treaty Organization's nuclear forces were central to deterence and defence duting the Cold War. Their future role is far less clear in the dramatically changed security environment since its end. Dispite concerns about the long term evolution of Russia and China, the major threats to national and international security today stem not from confrontations between great powers, but from proliferation and terrorism.

Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract The Obama administration is right that the United States can safely cut some of its nuclear arsenal, but it must retain the right capabilities. Otherwise, the United States' adversaries might conclude -- perhaps correctly -- that Washington's nuclear strategy rests largely on a bluff.
