About this report
The operational failure mode addressed by “Strategic Nuclear Command, Control & Communications (NC3)” is the risk that, in a high-stress crisis or conflict with a nuclear dimension, Alliance and national political authorities cannot reliably maintain secure, survivable, and interoperable connectivity to the warning, decision-support, and execution pathways that underpin nuclear deterrence, escalation management, and nuclear safety.
This failure mode is not limited to the loss of a single communications channel.
