Verification at Vienna Monitoring Reductions of Conventional Armed Forces

The on-site inspection regimes of the 1990 Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty and the Vienna Document are reviewed, together with several national implementations. Basic verification methods for future treaties are presented, such as statistical considerations for designing inspection schemes. Several chapters are devoted to new cooperative technical means of verification: satellite and aircraft overflights, ground sensors, and tags and seals. Options for international verification organizations are explored. Verification research, verification of naval forces and verification of limits on military research and development are also covered. Reduction of conventional armed forces in Europe requires qualitatively new levels in cooperatie verification since hundreds of thousands of small and mobile weapons in a large area are involved. In this book, authors from science and industry, as well as diplomats and military officers, discuss verification in the context of current European politicalAltmann, Jurgen is the author of 'Verification at Vienna Monitoring Reductions of Conventional Armed Forces' with ISBN 9782881245398 and ISBN 2881245390.
