Panel discussion of a new report that evaluates how different categories of AI enhancements could increase anti-submarine warfare platforms' ability to detect ballistic missile submarines at varying depths, and assesses the potential implications for strategic stability.
This journal article explores how nuance can be applied to conceptual understandings of how technological innovation affects nuclear deterrence, challenging dominant narratives casting “emerging technologies” as disruptive singularities with intrinsic, positivistic strategic effects.
Analysis of two recently released White House executive orders focused on quantum technology.
Dr. Ariel Petrovics will present her recent edited volume on how efforts to reduce nuclear weapons dangers may sometimes wind up exacerbating them. These efforts are considered fundamental to reducing the likelihood of nuclear catastrophe. Yet, no tool is guaranteed to succeed and some may even have unanticipated, counterproductive consequences for international security. In a field fixated on finding solutions, this book instead warns readers not to lose sight of the drivers and often calamitous effects of failed nuclear policies.
How AI could change wargaming and war itself.
This webinar will walk through the purpose, capabilities, and use of the Hypersonic Glide Vehicle Simulator, a recently launched web application that enables quick and easy modeling of the flight performance of hypersonic missiles. In addition to covering detailed use cases for this tool, it will walk through BRSL’s broader work on the integration of technical analysis into global security analysis.
The case for national security research inside a leading innovation ecosystem.
Sulgiye Park will discuss her research on North Korea’s production of critical materials for its nuclear weapons program. Combining satellite imagery, geological analysis, and technical assessment, she provides new, open-source intelligence on North Korea’s fissile material and nuclear weapons production capabilities. Her findings contribute to improved forecasting of future nuclear risks.
This is a user guide for the Hypersonic Glide Vehicle Simulator.
Trump's 2025 National Security Strategy codifies a more limited, transactional vision of U.S. power.
