Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7009009· OSTI ID:7009009
Deterrence of evasions is an important benefit of arms control treaty verification measures in general, and suspect site inspections in particular. In this report, we present an analytical framework for evaluating the deterrence effect of verification measures and discuss the framework in the context of suspect site inspections. The framework incorporates the effects of verification measures on both the probabilities of detection and the evader's values of evasion. 6 refs., 13 figs.
