Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. xv, [1], 206, [2] pages. Includes Preface, List of Tables and Figures, and Acronyms and Abbreviations. Also includes Appendix, Notes on the Contributors, and Index. Chapters include The Future of SDI: An Introduction; SDI During the Reagan Years; Trends in Strategic Defense Technologies; The Near-Term Impact of SDI on Soviet Strategic Programs: An Institutional Prospective; SDI and the Allies; SDI and the Existing Arms Control Regine; The Structure of Possible U.S.-Soviet Agreements; and SDI and the U.S. Defense Posture. Among the Contributors are: Jeffrey Boutwell, Ashton Carter, Thomas Johnson, Michael May, Stephen Meyer, William Perry, Brent Scowcroft, Strobe Talbott, and Edward Warner. The purposes of this volume are to explicate the key security policy issues raised by the SDI program and to explore how they are likely to evolve through the early 1990s. Topics covered include What factors led to the emergence of SDI? How have SDI technologies evolved since 1983? How are research and development likely to progress by the early 1990s? How will Soviet strategic policies adjust in response to SDI through the early 1990s? What are the key SDI issues for U.S. Allies? How does SDI affect the present structure of offensive and defensive arms control agreements? What are the options for negotiating with the Soviet Union future arms control agreements? What are the options for negotiating with the Soviet Union future arms control regimes that regulate defensive and offensive forces? How will the pursuit of SDI affect the overall U.S. defense posture in the world? The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), nicknamed the "Star Wars program", was a proposed missile defense system intended to protect the United States from attack by ballistic strategic nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles). The concept was first announced on March 23, 1983 by President Ronald Reagan, a vocal critic of the doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD), which he described as a "suicide pact", and called upon American scientists and engineers to develop a system that would render nuclear weapons obsolete. The Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO) was set up in 1984 within the US Department of Defense to oversee development. A wide array of advanced weapon concepts, including lasers, particle beam weapons and ground- and space-based missile systems were studied, along with various sensor, command and control, and high-performance computer systems that would be needed to control a system consisting of hundreds of combat centers and satellites spanning the entire globe and involved in a very short battle. A number of these concepts were tested through the late 1980s, and follow-on efforts and spin-offs continue to this day. Under the SDIO's Innovative Sciences and Technology Office, headed by physicist and engineer Dr. James Ionson, the investment was predominantly made in basic research at national laboratories, universities, and in industry; these programs have continued to be key sources of funding for top research scientists in the fields of high-energy physics, supercomputing/computation, advanced materials, and many other critical science and engineering disciplines - funding which indirectly supports other research work by top scientists, and which would be politically impossible to fund outside of the defense budget environment. In 1987, the American Physical Society concluded that the technologies being considered were decades away from being ready for use, and at least another decade of research was required to know whether such a system was even possible. After the publication of the APS report, SDIs budget was repeatedly cut. By the late 1980s, the effort had been re-focused on the "Brilliant Pebbles" concept using small orbiting missiles not unlike a conventional air-to-air missile, which was expected to be much less expensive to develop and deploy. SDI was controversial in some sectors, and was criticized for threatening to destabilize the MAD-approach and to possibly re-ignite "an offensive arms race".[12] By the early 1990s, with the Cold War ending and nuclear arsenals being rapidly reduced, political support for SDI collapsed. SDI officially ended in 1993, when the Bill Clinton administration redirected the efforts towards theatre ballistic missiles and renamed the agency the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO).
