Trade paperback. Condizione: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xxiv, 128 pages. Acronyms. Footnotes. Tables. Figures. References. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Corner of page 33/34 creased. Glenn Buchan was the Associate Program Director for C3I/Space systems in Project AIR FORCE. He joined RAND as a resear…ch staff member in the Defense Planning and Analysis Department in 1984. His research has spanned a wide range of defense topics. In the area of strategic and nuclear planning, he has constructed war plans and evaluated force interactions, studied arms control verification issues and implications of various weapon systems on arms control, and analyzed Soviet strategy. His research has also focused on nuclear and conventional uses of heavy bombers. He led a major RAND study on the future structure of the U.S. heavy bomber force, focusing heavily on a range of potential applications for the B-2 bomber. The United States has been reexamining its basic assumptions about foreign policy and various instruments of national security policy to define its future needs. The defining characteristic of nuclear weapons makes them unmatched as terror weapons and potentially more effective than any other type of weapon in strictly military terms (i.e., destroying targets). Moreover, the ability to produce nuclear weapons with relatively large yields in very small packages can dramatically increase their potential military value. Accordingly, nuclear weapons offer a range of strategic and tactical advantages to those countries that possess them. They can be used as instruments to ? coerce enemies by threat or actual use ? deter enemies from a range of actions by threat of punishment ? offset an imbalance of conventional forces ? fight a large-scale war ? destroy specific critical installations ? enhance national prestige and win a "place at the table" in the international arena. The United States has used its nuclear forces for most of those purposes.

Trade paperback. Condizione: Very good. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. xxv, [1], 82 p. Illustrations. (Figures and Tables). Strategic Information Warfare (SIW) lies at the intersection of the information revolution and the ongoing revolution in strategic warfare. Our reliance on information systems may present an attractiv…e target to potential post-Cold War adversaries. This could lead to attacks on critical information-dependent infrastructures, such as electric power, telecommunications, and transportation that would threaten both our economic security and our military strategy. The goal of this project was to formulate a common DoD strategy and policy framework for addressing the challenge of strategic information warfare. Our result appears to offer a useful means of organizing thinking about the emerging SIW problem and achieving an inaugural action plan. It should therefore contribute to the ongoing effort to identify current U.S. SIW-related issues on which decisions need to be made and the appropriate forum(s). This framework and process, though oriented to U.S. national decisionmaking, should also contribute to preparations for the imperative, and even more challenging, international decisionmaking process on this subject. This report summarizes research performed by RAND for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence) in response to a request. The objective of this effort was to derive a framework for policy and strategy decisionmaking on problems raised by the emerging potential of Strategic Information Warfare. From Wikipedia: "Roger Carl Molander (November 30, 1940 March 25, 2012) was an American government official and activist. Born in Perham, Minnesota, Molander grew up in Marinette, Wisconsin. He graduated from University of Wisconsin Madison and received his doctorate degree from University of California, Berkeley. Molander was an aide to Paul Nitze and worked with the United States National Security Council. In 1981, Molander left government service and formed Ground Zero, an advocacy and educational group to provide information about nuclear disarmament. Molander died in Washington, D.C.".
