This paper examines the many factors surrounding the potential deployment of the long-range strategic cruise missile focusing on: the technical and strategic asymmetries including guidance systems, air defense forces, nuclear weapons targeting vulnerabilities and strategic weapons essential equivalence; strategic implications including the missile's impact on the strategic balance and its potential stabilizing influence on a deterrence model; and implications on Strategic Arms Negotiations. It examines how the long-range cruise missile will add a measure of stability to the strategic deterrent balance and contribute to the restrained counterforce doctrine. The sea-launch cruise missile platform would provide a non-time sensitive reserve weapon capable of inflicting unacceptable damage on the adversary, hence increasing the stability of deterrence.
