The Nebraska Deterrence Lab: Promoting National Security
In the new security environment, nuclear proliferation, cyber and space threats, and regional and hybrid conflicts simultaneously exist and influence the decision-making processes of many geopolitical actors. Multi-actor deterrence can address this complex system of multiple state and nonstate actors with conflicting and common interests, each with individual strengths and weaknesses.
The Nebraska Deterrence Lab is an interdisciplinary and intercampus lab that conducts research on integrated multi-actor deterrence, multi-actor quantitative risk, and decision-making for private, public, and defense sectors. The Deterrence Lab analyzes real-world deterrence scenarios using a proprietary methodology and computer application.
The Deterrence Lab offers a variety of opportunities for student involvement and seeks to include deterrence in learning activities and encourage experiential learning. Students have the opportunity to strengthen their national security writing and critical thinking skills, network with government and defense clients, and participate in experiments, simulations, and other events.
