Summary:The 2018 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) has committed to the on-going B-21 bomber development, a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM, the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent), updated gravity nuclear weapons, a follow-on air launched cruise missile, and the replacement class of ballistic-missile submarine launching platforms. In sum, Power served for sixteen years at the leading edge of the strategic nuclear weapons systems development, deployment, and leadership in what is now called the Nuclear Enterprise. In essence, Power possessed a great deal of gravitas when he spoke and wrote on the topics of deterrence and war fighting during the height of the Cold War.
