Deploying space-based interceptors (SBIs) to defend offensive forces dominated by submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) increases crisis stability. SBIs increase the fraction of land missiles and aircraft that survive the first strike, which is stabilizing. For small numbers of SLBMs, first and second strikes and costs become similar, and stability increases. This note gives numerical and analytic estimates of the crisis stability of SLBM-dominated build downs stabilized with SBIs, using the stability analysis derived in earlier reports.
