Deep Interdiction in the 21st Century

Precision Strike - Day 1,Session One: Deep Interdiction in the 21st Century: How Do Prompt Strike Capabilities Contribute to a Multidomain Campaign

The concept of using penetrating capabilities to disrupt the functioning of an opponent as a system is not new, and was understood by early 20th century thinkers and practitioners like Svechin and Tukhachevsky. The emergence of precise long range prompt strike capabilities has, however, accelerated the speed at which targets at operational depth can be struck. How will these assets support multidomain campaigns focused on penetrating and disintegrating an opponent’s military system of systems? What priority should be placed on prompt strike relative to other means of striking and disrupting targets in depth? Conversely, what defensive measures exist against adversary attempts to penetrate and disintegrate the systems on which western power projection depends using precision strike?

Chair:
Paul O’Neill, Senior Research Fellow, Military Sciences, RUSI

Speakers:
Lieutenant General Eric Wesley, Former Deputy Commander, US Army Futures Command
Dr Tom Karako, Director, Missile Defence Project, CSIS, US
Dr Motonobu Fujita, Senior Policy Coordinator, Acquisition Technology and Logistics Agency, Japan

The conduct of 21st century campaigns will be shaped in large measure by opponents’ use of reconnaissance strike complexes to achieve effects in depth. This virtual conference sought to examine both the offensive and defensive aspects of a 21st century strike campaign, as well as the available avenues for offence-defence integration.
