Title:
A Methodology for the Analysis of Conventional and Nuclear Prompt Global Strike Alternatives
Identifier:

STOAbstractExternal:
The Quadrennial Defense Review in 2006 made several decisions which affect US Strategic Command's (USSTRATCOM) mission areas, specifically in the area of conventional prompt global strike (CPGS) capability. There is a need for analysis of issues associated with USSTRATCOM lines of operation in the areas of Strategic Deterrence/Nuclear Operations. Global Strike with respect to the conventional strike capability is explored to include prompt global strike as a follow-on to the joint force enabler to respond to various threats. The Systems Decision Process (SDP) is applied to analyze CPGS alternatives based on a value focused thinking methodology in order to develop a strategy for meeting the challenges of today and to help prioritize the implementation of this strategy.
