This Huessy Seminar will examine the effectiveness of U.S. and allied missile defense in today’s evolving threat environment and explore how emerging technologies and geopolitical dynamics are shaping its future. Drawing on more than 30 years of senior leadership across the Departments of State, Defense, and Energy, Frank Rose will assess how missile defense contributes to strategic stability—arguing that, rather than escalating conflict, effective missile defenses can reduce harm to U.S. allies, limit escalation pressures, and help shorten or even prevent conflict altogether. The discussion will highlight the intersection of missile defense, space, technology, and deterrence in an increasingly contested global security landscape.
