U.S. Security In A Proliferated World Will Require A New ICBM (from The National Interest)

September 21, 2016September 27, 2016Daniel Gouré, Ph.D.

It’s really quite simple: deterrence of an attack on the United States by a hostile nation rests, ultimately, on the nuclear triad — intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and bombers. While each leg of the triad plays a critical role in deterring aggression, there are some circumstances in which the land-based missile force could make the difference between war and peace.  For that reason, the United States will need to develop and deploy a new ICBM, now called the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD). I have written about this for National Interest.
