Attached are some ideas that can be looked into to support as to why American Interests/objectives were negatively impacted due to the available imagery intelligence utilized. For instance,
The bomber gap debate,
Eisenhower’s New Look,
the U-2 overflights of the Soviet Union,
Sputnik shock and the missile gap debate,
Genetrix and the development of the first spy satellites (Corona Project),
the reassessment of the missile gap in the early 1960s,
Kennedy’s Flexible Response,
the beginnings of nuclear arms control in the 1960s.
Not all ideas need to be utilized. One or two is sufficient. In the paper, we really want to cover why American Imagery intelligence was not effective as it hampered their efforts in decision making. For example, the U.S greatly overestimated the number of nukes the Soviets had available.
