- Title
Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and Their Role in Future Nuclear Forces.
- Authors
Evans, Dennis; Schwalbe, Jonathan
- Abstract
The article presents technical analyses that will help determine whether an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) force should be retained beyond 2035. Several policy issues are also identified that must be considered by decision makers before making acquisition choices or making decisions on new nuclear weapon treaties. The survivability of U.S. ICBM silos, weapon lethality and collateral damage, and force structure options are also discussed.
