Abstract:
As originally conceived, the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) was a "research program" to identify promising technologies for a strategic defense system. Almost four years into the SDI program, this has paid off handsomely. Technologies have been identified as very promising for use in near-term strategic defense deployment. Thenext step is to turn these promising technologies into reality by moving toward development and testing so that actual deployment can begin .
