Bill Murphy (NIDS Senior Fellow) discusses the TRIAD…and how it provides the “capability” portion of the deterrence equation. He provides information and characteristics on each of the three legs; Intercontinental Ballistic missiles (ICBMs), Submarine-launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs) and Nuclear capable Bombers. He wraps up by identifying the reasons the US needs to successfully field modernized systems.
