About the UCS Global Security Program

The Global Security Program's professional staff includes scientists and policy experts who conduct research on a range of security issues, focusing primarily on U.S. nuclear weapons and security policy. We provide technically informed, independent "peer review" of U.S. military programs and plans, and develop and articulate sound alternatives when U.S. security policy misses the mark.

Using our communications expertise, we translate our technical analysis into accessible material to educate policymakers, the media, and the general public on the science behind critical security issues. Our seasoned advocates work closely with policymakers and key staff in the administration and Congress, to ensure our analysis is in the right hands when decisions are made. Our network of scientists, with assistance from our advocacy and communications staff, helps us "turn up the heat" at critical points in the public debate.

Internationally, the Global Security Program plays a unique role in
increasing the number of independent scientists and technical analysts working professionally on security issues. For more than a decade, we have worked to identify and train young scientists from the United States, China, Russia, and other countries to conduct policy-relevant technical analysis on arms control and security issues. Our goal is to build a strong international community of researchers who will work cooperatively to improve security policy worldwide.
