Military technology innovations have bred PRC and PLA concerns as to the sustainability of China’s approach to strategic deterrence, recent writings suggest.

Emerging non-nuclear strategic capabilities identified in recent PRC writings include ... in a nuclear conflict and increase the incentive for preemptive attack. Escalation control. New technologies and cross-domain deterrence may make escalation control more difficult, because it can be hard to ascertain what constitutes a first strike vs. a retaliatory one and therefore which side is responsible for escalation. Implications Many PRC authors argue that new technologies

Gaming Sea Based Multinational Operations

/analyses/2016/gaming-sea-based-multinational-operations

CNA designed and conducted a table-top exercise (TTX) at the U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) Amphibious Leaders Symposium (PALS) in July 2016 that explored seabasing operations and interoperability during future contingency operations. Using a scenario that revolved around a massive natural disaster striking a fictitious country in the southern Indian Ocean, the TTX strengthened relationships and improved mutual understanding among participating militaries. Military leaders from the 22 Asian, Latin American, and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries participating in PALS formed coalitions, planned how they would operate within these coalitions to provide relief, and assembled their forces to conduct humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HA/DR) operations. PALS participants contributed a broad range of sea-based capabilities and employed them in creative ways. This revealed areas of opportunity and friction that could benefit from discussion at future PALS, dialogue during bilateral military engagements, and inclusion in bilateral and multinational command-post and at-sea exercises.

and they observed a live U.S. seabasing demonstration. The TTX served to conceptually bridge participants’ past HA/DR experiences to emerging seabasing concepts and technologies. Within this context, the TTX had four

Powering Americas Economy Energy Innovation at the Crossroads of National Security Challenges

/analyses/2010/powering-americas-economy-energy-innovation-at-the-crossroads-of-national-security-challenges

In the first half of 2010, the CNA MAB reconvened to further consider the challenges and opportunities that America faces in order to transition to clean en- ergy technology (that is, low carbon energy technol- ogy), even as the United States and the world’s major economies begin to emerge from a great recession. Specifically, we examined how America’s national power could face significant future challenges due to the vulnerabilities of the nation’s current energy posture. Furthermore, we looked at the opportunities presented to the United States, relative to collabora- tors and competitors, by moving toward a clean en- ergy economy. We examined how the Department of Defense (DOD) could play a key role by altering its research and development enterprise to accelerate the development of innovative clean energy technologies. To this end, we were briefed by a number of talented speakers and experts, including current and former senior officials from DOD and the Department of Energy (DOE), current and former U.S. climate ne- gotiators, defense officials charged with incorporat- ing energy and climate change into national security strategy, active-duty military officers responsible for energy transformation, intelligence officials, private sector energy technology innovators, and specialists in the emerging clean energy economies of nations around the world. This report, which serves as a follow-on white paper to Powering America’s Defense, contains the findings and recommendations resulting from our deliberations. We hope that they will provide a useful contribution to the public debate and policy formulation on these critically important national security issues.
