The Costs of False Security: Missile Defense and Weapons in Space

Original: The Costs of False Security: The Fallacy of National Missile Defense, the Golden Dome and Nuclear Weapons in Space

The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation is out with a new analysis arguing that national missile defense, including the proposed Golden Dome system and any move toward nuclear weapons in space, would deliver false security at enormous cost. The piece contends such programs are technically unreliable, provoke arms races, and undermine rather than strengthen strategic stability. Critics of missile defense have long made similar arguments, and the debate is being rekindled as space-based defense concepts return to policy discussions.

Why now: Renewed debate over missile defense systems like the proposed Golden Dome and the prospect of weaponizing space has put arms control critiques back in the spotlight.
