The book explores the current NC3 system and its vital role in ensuring effective deterrence, contemporary challenges posed by cyber threats, new weapons technologies and the consensus across the nuclear enterprise of the need to modernize the United States Cold Warera system of systems. This volume offers the first overview of US NC3 since the 1980s. Part 1 provides an overview of the history, strategy and technology associated with NC3 and how it enables deterrence strategy as the basis of national defense.
Parts 2 and 3 identify how the US militarys NC3 works, the challenges of introducing digital technologies and the potential security threats, and how the system could fail if these considerations are not taken into account. Part 4 explains the progress NC3 has made thus far, and how we might move forward.
