Title: Advanced techniques for the analysis of crisis stability, deterrence, and latency

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/645573· OSTI ID:645573

Studies on crisis stability, deterrence, and latency are presented in chronological order, which also reflects their logical order of development, captures the main features of stability analysis; relates first strike, crisis, and arms control stability as seen from US and Russian perspective; and addresses questions such as whether uncertainty in damage preference or defense deployment can be destabilizing. It illustrates the problems with alternative metrics, latency and reconstitution, and deep unilateral and proportional force reductions.
