As strategic competition intensifies and threats continue to evolve across nuclear, conventional, cyber, space, and electromagnetic domains, how does the United States ensure its deterrence posture remains credible and effective?
Join Robert “Bob” Taylor, Director of Capability and Resource Integration (J8) at U.S. Strategic Command, for a discussion on the challenges of integrating future capabilities to support strategic deterrence. Drawing on his experience overseeing force development, requirements, emerging technologies, and resource integration across USSTRATCOM’s mission areas, Mr. Taylor will explore how USSTRATCOM in conjunction with the DoW is deterring today and preparing for future conflict, addressing capability gaps, and ensuring the nation remains ready to deter and, if necessary, prevail against evolving global threats.
