The new direction of United States strategic command

Article Abstract:

The newly reorganized United States Strategic Command is expected to have a new portfolio by the end of 2003 that includes global conventional strike, special operations, missile defense, command and control, and information warfare. Many issues like which of these capabilities will reside in the Offutt AFB, Nebraska-based command and which will be selected, a la carte, from other operational organizations are to be tackled.

...And on cue, nuclear update plans

Article Abstract:

The Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) program, designed to modernize the nuclear force by 2030 would be presented to the Congress as it could take a couple of decade to build the infrastructure required for sustained capability in nuclear weapon. The RRW program would design new components for previously tested nuclear weapons to reduce the chance resuming nuclear testing, which is dangerous and expensive.

Things to come

Article Abstract:

Gen. Gregory S. Martin, head of Air Force Material Command, describes that the United States Air Force (USAF) is looking for capabilities such as advances in propulsion, directed energy, robotics and information technology. The USAF's push for advanced technologies is creating an unhealthy tension between operational desire and technological capability.
