Description

The CPGS concept calls for a U.S. capability to deliver conventional strikes anywhere in the world in approx. an hour. A CPGS capability would be a valuable strategic asset for some fleeting, denied, and difficult-to-reach targets. It would fill a gap in U.S. conventional strike capability in some plausible high-risk scenarios, contribute to a more versatile and credible U.S. strategic posture, and potentially enhance deterrence across a diverse spectrum of threats. A key concern is the risk that either Russia or China might launch its nuclear forces due to uncertainty about the target of an ambiguous U.S. CPGS strike. The Conventional Trident Modification mitigates this risk better than the conventional strike missile. A print on demand report.
