The US is building a new $100bn nuclear missile based on a set of flawed
and outdated assumptions, a new report by the Federation of American
Scientists (FAS) will say. The report, due to be published next week, will
argue the planned ground-based strategic deterrent (GBSD) is being driven
by intense industry lobbying and politicians from states that will benefit
most from it economically, rather than a clear assessment of the purpose of
the new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
