Description

This report analyzes the role and requirements for U.S. nuclear weapons in the twenty-first century and identifies the near-term programmatic decisions necessary to sustain and revitalize the U.S. nuclear deterrent. Prepared in parallel with the Bush administration's Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), Revitalizing the U.S. Nuclear Deterrent identifies a range of nuclear force structure options to meet 2010 nuclear requirements and examines the kind of hedging and shaping actions that the United States would need to take to address longer-term security challenges in 2020 and beyond. The analysis provides a solid basis for understanding the results of the NPR and complements it by addressing the long-term implications of near-term sustainment and modernization actions.
