Until recently, the problem of cruise missile proliferation centered on antiship not land attack systems. But now there is growing concern that the developing world will acquire land attack cruise missiles. In view of their precision of delivery, low flight profile, and small radar cross section, land attack cruise missiles could threaten effective delivery of not only nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons but conventional payloads as well. Should such strike systems proliferate into the arsenals of rogue states, they could present serious challenges to US force planners in a variety of military contingencies.
