Description

Douglas C. Waller (au); James T. Bruce (au); William Proxmire (ed). Two staff reports submitted to Sen. William Proxmire & J. Bennett Johnston in 1987 on the so-called Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). The first is an update on significant problems strategic defenses faced. More than 60 SDI scientists, engineers, project managers, & ballistic missile defense experts were interviewed for this report. Extensive briefings were held at the nation’s three national weapons labs conducting SDI research, the Air Force Space Division, & with key defense contractors involved in SDI work. The second report examines the sizable cost of the launch -- putting the weapons, sensors & battle management systems in space -- that is often overlooked.
