Project Title
For one time funding for a feasibility study on the verification of nuclear weapons in orbit under the Outer Space Treaty as part of a Request for Proposals for the Consortium to Reduce Nuclear Dangers
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
The 1967 Outer Space Treaty prohibits the deployment of nuclear weapons in orbit, but the agreement offers no verification measures. Indeed, verification of the Treaty remains a major technical challenge, given the harsh radiation environment and limited detection options. This project, led by a team of nuclear scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), will conduct a novel feasibility study of whether new technologies related to passive radiation signatures and related detection methods can confirm or disprove the presence of nuclear warheads in orbit. The research will combine computational modeling, sensitivity and background studies, and policy analysis in collaboration with other MIT nuclear experts. By developing novel verification techniques that leverage the space radiation environment, the project seeks to deter covert nuclear deployments in space and provide policymakers with new technical options for outer space arms control.

Project Title
For one time funding for a project assessing the capabilities to reduce further nuclear escalation after first nuclear use as part of a Request for Proposals for the Consortium to Reduce Nuclear Dangers
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
The threat of limited nuclear escalation in regional conflicts involving the U.S. and Russia or China is increasingly plausible, yet U.S. policymakers lack robust, empirically grounded insights into how such escalation would shape modern conflict. Most prior analysis has relied on deductive reasoning or strategic-level tabletop exercises that fail to capture operational dynamics. This project aims to fill this gap by designing and conducting a series of operational-level wargames to examine how limited nuclear strikes affect conflict outcomes, escalation dynamics, and crisis stability. The effort will generate practical recommendations to prevent and manage limited nuclear escalation.

For one time funding for a project to explore options to reduce escalation after first nuclear use as part of a Request for Proposals for the Consortium to Reduce Nuclear Dangers
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
12 months
Description
The risk of nuclear use on the battlefield has been higher than at any point since the Cold War. Yet traditional deterrence theory does not adequately provide options for reducing further nuclear escalation after the first use of a nuclear weapon. This dilemma is complicated by today’s rapidly shifting nuclear doctrines, ambiguous nuclear signaling, and increasing risks of misperception. New America will combine scenario planning and strategic gaming to test how U.S. nuclear signals could be interpreted under crisis conditions. The project team will stress-test assumptions with ideologically diverse participants, including former officials and regional specialists, with the aim of identifying which strategies stabilize escalation control and which risk backfiring. The result will be actionable recommendations to policymakers to clarify how adversaries interpret U.S. signals, prevent dangerous misperceptions, and provide credible options to halt escalation after nuclear use.

Description
Nuclear dangers are increasingly entangled across four flashpoint dyads beyond the traditional U.S.-Russia dynamic: U.S.-China, India-Pakistan, India-China, and U.S.-DPRK. Official crisis channels in these four dyads are often unreliable at best and potentially silent when needed the most. This project from Inter Mediate will build on 15 years of quiet facilitation to strengthen crisis dialogues and backchannels across these dyads, leveraging unique access in key nuclear-armed capitals. The initiative seeks to reduce misperceptions, clarify red lines, and lay the groundwork for future and novel nuclear arms control.

Project Title
For the “Andrew Carnegie AI-Nuclear Policy Accelerator” to bridge the knowledge gap between nuclear policy and artificial intelligence
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping global security, creating profound—and in many cases, still not fully understood—challenges for nuclear risk reduction and strategic stability. Despite its importance, most nuclear experts in civil society and academia lack the technical fluency to assess how AI will affect the future of nuclear deterrence, escalation dynamics, and arms control. To address this gap, the Institute for Security and Technology will launch the “Andrew Carnegie AI-Nuclear Policy Accelerator” for 25–30 mid-career nuclear security professionals per year. The Accelerator aims to prepare a rising generation of nuclear specialists to better understand and shape future policies and international agreements governing AI and nuclear dangers. The initiative will include immersive bootcamps in Silicon Valley and other seminars to explore core AI concepts and their implications for nuclear security. Fellows will also develop research projects with mentorship from AI and nuclear experts.
