Frye, A

An old concept known as ZBM (zero ballistic missiles) now challenges analysts and policymakers to think a new about a radical transformation of the strategic environment. Until recently, the notion of eliminating all ballistic missiles designed for deep strikes beyond an immediate battlefield seemed favorful. However, the drastic shift in the geopolitical terrain and the rising apprehension about the spread of weapons of mass destruction have made that ambitions goal plausible. The arguments for setting ZBM as the next frontier in arms control are discussed.
