On the crisis stability of a submarine deterrent
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5180220
Without defenses, stability indices fall monotonically as the number of submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) is reduced. For few SLBMs, the favorable stability properties of the survivable SLBMs are masked by the unfavorable stability properties of the non-survivable land missiles. With ground-based interceptor (GBI) defenses, stability initially falls faster. The number of GBIs could be increased gradually to minimize their impact on stability.
