Conventional Prompt Global Strike and long-range ballistic missiles : background and issues / [electronic resource] Amy F. Woolf - Washington, DC : CRS, 2014 - 43 p. - CRS report, R41464 .
SIP1409 "August 26, 2014". Conventional prompt global strike (CPGS) weapons would allow the United States to strike targets anywhere on Earth in as little as an hour. This capability may bolster U.S. efforts to deter and defeat adversaries by allowing the United States to attack high-value targets or “fleeting targets” at the start of or during a conflict. Congress has generally supported the PGS mission, but it has restricted funding and suggested some changes in funding for specific programs.
