US vice president Joe Biden says Washington should seek an "adaptive missile defense shield" and conventional warheads with global range.
美國副總統拜登說，華盛頓應尋求一種“導彈適應防禦盾”和全球射程的常規彈頭。
Biden, who spoke at the National Defense University on Thursday, added that development of programs such as the planned anti-missile in Europe would allow the United States to decrease its nuclear weaponry.
拜登星期四曾在國防大學講話，他補充開發的項目例如計劃中在歐洲的反導彈，將允許美國減少其核武器。
"Capabilities like an adaptive missile defensive shield, conventional warheads with world-wide reach and others that are developing and being developed will enable us to reduce the role of nuclear weapons as other nuclear powers begin to draw down even further," the vice president said.
能奈似一個導彈適應防禦盾，常規彈頭有世界性射程的和其它正在發展和正被開發的，將使我們能夠減少核武器的角色，因為其它核子國家開始制訂更遠的，”副總統說。
Biden was also making the case for the big jump in spending so that scientists can make certain the aging US nuclear stockpile remains ready for use, if needed, without test explosions.
拜登也在處理個案進行支出大幅增加，因此科學家能夠肯定，老化的美國核武存倉仍可使用，如果需要的話，不用爆炸測試。
The new administration budget allocates USD 7 billion for scientists and laboratories that maintain warhead readiness — an increase of about 13.5 percent and one of the largest in the next spending plan.
The 2011 budget also calls for spending an additional USD 5 billion on those projects over the next five years.
Biden comments come while US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev agreed in July to cut their respective number of nuclear warheads to between 1,500 and 1,675 under a new treaty.
