Possible U.S. SLCM (Sea Launched Cruise Missile) Negotiating Options

Abstract

This study identifies and evaluates five possible mechanisms for including the sea-launched cruise missile (SLCM) in the arms control process. It focuses on limits for deployed SLCMs. It does not deal with possible constraints on non-deployed SLCMs either in storage or undergoing final assembly. Other related issues such as the reloadability of SLCM launchers and non-U.S. NATO platforms are also discussed. Keywords: Guided missile launchers; Negotiating options.
