Build a Modern Deterrence Mix

Create a strategic analysis of what a modern deterrence posture looks like for an advanced democracy facing regional insecurity. Compare the roles of domestic defense manufacturing, dual-use technologies, drones, logistics, alliance coordination, and civil resilience. Then propose a framework for deciding which capabilities should be built at home, which should be co-developed with partners, and which should be purchased internationally. Finish with a short scenario table showing how the strategy would differ under peacetime, crisis, and sustained tension.
