STRATCOM advisory panel to meet Oct. 19-20

U.S. Strategic Command's advisory panel is poised to meet next month to assess the nuclear stockpile, discuss the mission surety of legacy nuclear triad systems and more, a notice posted to the Federal Register today states.

The listing shows members are also planning to cover dual near-peer threat assessment and integrated deterrence; a next-generation technology survey tied to nuclear command, control and communications; and the ties between STRATCOM and the intelligence community.

The closed-to-the-public meeting, slated for Oct. 19 and 20, is held to share advice with the STRATCOM commander “on scientific, technical, intelligence, and policy-related issues” amid “the development of the nation’s strategic war plans,” the notice adds.
