History

Historical Context

Announced by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) aimed to develop a missile defense system to protect the U.S. from nuclear threats, with an estimated budget of $26 billion. The initiative faced criticism for potentially destabilizing the doctrine of mutual assured destruction (MAD) and was ultimately abandoned in 1993, but its legacy influences current defense technology partnerships like BigBear.ai's collaboration with Tsecond, Inc.
