This study
was a submitted as a master thesis in political science at
Stuttgart university in 1986. While part I develops the theoretical
framework, part II is focused on technical issues and part
III offers a summary and conclusions. In chapter 1 the author
outlines the theoretical background, while he discusses the
security and military aspects of the stability concept in
chapter 2, and in chapter 3 he reviews the development of
the US nuclear doctrine. After briefly describing command,
control, communication and intelligence as the American nerve
systems for strategic nuclear weapons, he describes in detail
in chapter 5 the command and control functions, in chapter
6 the communication network and in chapter 7 the exploration
of data through strategic and tactical reconnaissance. In
chapter 8 he analyses the functions of C3I, while he discusses
the stabilising and the destabilising moments of the C3I complex.
