Discussions are underway in the US on the need to create a Dead Hand system that could automatically deliver a nuclear strike in response to an attack by the Russian Federation or China.
“Dead hand” – it is a complex capable of automatically launching a nuclear strike even if all the people making the decisions are dead or incapacitated.
The threat from Russia and China: Russia and China are modernizing their nuclear arsenals, and the US may be lagging behind in the race.
Limited time to make a decision: In the event of a nuclear attack, the US president will have only 10 minutes to act in the situation and give the order.
Unreliability: the current US nuclear arsenal control complex (AN/USQ-225) may be vulnerable.
It is important to note that the authors of the idea of War on the Rocks do not propose to fully give AI the right to make decisions about a nuclear strike (the system should only speed up the decision-making process in the critical situations).
Creation of “Dead Hand” in the USA – this is a complex issue that has both supporters and opponents. Proponents believe the system could make the United States more vulnerable to nuclear attack. Their opponents fear an accidental strike with atomic weapons in the event of a failure.
Discussion about the feasibility of creating a “Dead Hand” continues.
