U. S. Nuclear Forces
Author: Charles M. BowersPublisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781631178399
Category : Nuclear weapons
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Even though the United States plans to reduce the number of warheads deployed on its long-range missiles and bombers, consistent with the terms of the New START Treaty, it also plans to develop new delivery systems for deployment over the next 20-30 years. The 113th Congress will continue to review these programs during the annual authorisation and appropriations process. This book reviews the ongoing programs that will affect the expected size and shape of the U.S. strategic nuclear force structure. This book also provides basic information about U.S. and Russian non-strategic nuclear weapons, and projected costs of United States nuclear forces.

Projected Costs of U.S. Nuclear Forces, 2017-2026
Author: Michael BennettPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nuclear weapons
Languages : en
Pages : 7
Book Description
The nation's current nuclear forces are reaching the end of their service life. Over the next two decades, essentially all of those nuclear deliv- ery systems and weapons would have to be refurbished or replaced with new systems to continue operating. Conse- quently, the Congress will need to make decisions about what nuclear forces the United States should field in the future and thus about the extent to which the nation will pursue nuclear modernization plans. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 requires CBO to update its estimate of the cost of nuclear forces every two years. This report is the second such update.

Book Description
CBO estimates that plans for U.S. nuclear forces, as described in the fiscal year 2021 budget and supporting documents, would cost $634 billion over the 2021–2030 period, $140 billion more than CBO’s 2019 estimate for the 2019–2028 period.

Book Description
The Congressional Budget Office is required by law to project the 10-year costs of nuclear forces every two years. This report contains CBO's projections for the period from 2019 to 2028. The nation's current nuclear forces are reaching the end of their service life. Those forces consist of submarines that launch ballistic missiles (SSBns), land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), long-range bomber aircraft, shorter-range tactical aircraft carrying bombs, and the nuclear warheads that those delivery systems carry. Over the next two decades, essentially all of those components of nuclear forces will have to be refurbished or replaced with new systems if the United States is to continue fielding those capabilities.
The Cost of U.S. Nuclear Forces

Book Description
Nuclear weapons have underpinned U.S. national security strategy since the early days of the Cold War. The size and shape of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, along with the core tenets of U.S. nuclear strategy and doctrine, have been continuously debated for decades. Notably, the arguments put forth by proponents of a smaller nuclear force have been shifting over the past several years from the realm of strategy to the world of resources. Simply put, several studies have suggested that one reason to cut back U.S. nuclear force structure or scale back modernization efforts would be to save money, and that reason is arguably overshadowing most others. In this report, the authors focus on the central, albeit sometimes implicit, question at the heart of these studies: how much money could the United States actually save through nuclear reductions? The Cost of U.S. Nuclear Forces provides an in-depth accounting of what U.S. nuclear forces cost and to explicitly address how much could potentially be saved by cutting those forces.

Book Description
In its most recent review of U.S. nuclear policy, the Administration resolved to maintain all three types of systems that can deliver nuclear weapons over long ranges—submarines that launch ballistic missiles (SSBNs), land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and long-range bombers—known collectively as the strategic nuclear triad. The Administration also resolved to preserve the ability to deploy U.S. tactical nuclear weapons carried by fighter aircraft overseas in support of allies. Nearly all of those delivery systems and the nuclear weapons they carry are nearing the end of their planned operational lives and will need to be modernized or replaced by new systems over the next two decades. In addition, the Administration's review called for more investment to restore and modernize the national laboratories and the complex of supporting facilities that maintain the nation's stockpile of nuclear weapons. The costs of those modernization activities will add significantly to the overall cost of the nation's nuclear forces, which also includes the cost of operating and maintaining the current forces. As directed by the Congress in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239), the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated the costs over the next 10 years of the Administration's plans for operating, maintaining, and modernizing nuclear weapons and the military systems capable of delivering those weapons. CBO's estimates should not be used directly to calculate the savings that might be realized if those forces were reduced: Because the nuclear enterprise has large fixed costs for infrastructure and other factors, a partial reduction in the size of any segment of those forces would be likely to result in savings that were proportionally smaller than the relative reduction in force.
