The 12th annual Strategic Weapons in the 21st Century (SW21) workshop aimed to sustain high-level focus on key deterrence challenges and to promote well-informed discussion of them on a non-partisan basis. It brought together interested stakeholders from the national security laboratories, federal government, military, think tank, and academic communities, as well as allied counterparts, to share perspectives in an unclassified setting. The agenda was designed to examine the following key questions: How is the problem of strategic conflict changing, and why? How is the problem of strategic rivalry shaping up? How do adversaries think about and prepare for conflict and competition with the United States? What should the United States and its allies do to safeguard their interests?
