A special report of the Center for International Security and Arms Control of Stanford University. This study of President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative reviews the historical background, analyzes the technical feasibility of the Initiative, and assesses the political implications for the strategic relationship between the U.S. and the Soviet Union and their future arms control negotiations. The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) 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 publicly by President Ronald Reagan on 23 March 1983.[1] Reagan was a vocal critic of the doctrine of mutual assured destruction (MAD), which he described as a "suicide pact", and he called upon the scientists and engineers of the United States to develop a system that would render nuclear weapons obsolete.
