Summary/Abstract |
The five pre-1998 nuclear powers have matured their Nuclear Command and Control Structures, and Nuclear Forces Structures (NFS) over a period ranging from 70 years for the US to 50 years for China.
The Cold War arms race created thousands of systems for command and control or functioning of military forces. The C4ISR systems deployed or under development provide 24 hours continuous surveillance of each other's areas/offensive weapons, detect movement of strategic systems or change of deployment patterns and allied/linked systems. The command and control of these powers are well developed, with state-of-the-art electronic systems to function under NBC conditions. The command centres are located in deep underground hardened shelters, capable of withstanding nuclear attacks, functioning 24x7.

Summary/Abstract |
In order to mount a nuclear attack, a terrorist group would have to
surmount a daunting series of obstacles. Although the probability of
nuclear terrorism is still quite low, the potential damage could be
so catastrophic that it merits attention. Moreover, a nuclear attack
on a capital city could conceivably decapitate the central government.
The prospect of strategic nuclear terrorism could be an attractive
alternative to extremist and terrorist groups that have virtually no
hope of achieving their objectives through conventional political
means. Various extremist and terrorist subcultures have contemplated
this course of action. In order to avert the consequences of this
scenario, the system of the continuity of government should be
strengthened.

Summary/Abstract |
The greatest risk facing the twenty-first-century United States, short of an outright nuclear attack, is a two-front war involving its strongest military rivals, China and Russia. Such a conflict would entail a scale of national effort and risk unseen in generations, effectively pitting America against the resources of nearly half of the Eurasian landmass.
