U.S. Missile Defense: Shifting Strategic Landscape and Implications for Policy, Technology & Capabilities
Peppino DeBiaso

September 20, 2016

The presentation entitled "U.S. Missile Defense: Shifting Strategic Landscape and Implications for Policy, Technology & Capabilities" will examine the root of contemporary American BMD policy, programs and deployments including its evolution over the past 15 years. Following this, the presentation will turn to a discussion/examination of the major missile threat and missile defense developments that are underway which may compel the U.S. to reframe its current BMD policies and strategies. This will likely be on the agenda when the new Administration takes office in 2017 and begins to review major components of the American defense posture.

Dr. DeBiaso oversees a staff, which formulates national security policies, and defense plans for missile defense. In this capacity, he is responsible for developing, implementing and integrating positions regarding missile defense policy, force development, and security cooperation with foreign governments and their military establishments. Dr. DeBiaso received his Bachelor’s degree from the California State University in Political Science; Master’s degree from Claremont Graduate School in Government; and his Ph.D. from University of Southern California in International Relations.
