National Missile Defense Historical Perspective On March 23, 1983, through a nationally televised address to the nation, then President Ronald Reagan envisioned a ”Star Wars” defense system to replace the existing element of mutual deterrence between the two Cold War superpowers. The system calls for a high-tech impenetrable ballistic missile shield for the United States. The speech marks the birth of the Strategic Defense Initiative1 (SDI). It came about when the Soviets then had numerical

The National Defense University (NDU) is the premier Department of Defense component responsible for educating, developing and inspiring national security leaders. Oversight responsibility fall upon the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. This oversight ensures select leaders, both foreign and domestic, are prepared to support the country’s common defense through academics and engagement. Students who complete the rigorous academic programs receive either graduate degrees or graduate level certificates

I stated earlier in my paper that the use of ground forces is essentially obsolete in 2017, and the United States should make it a greater priority to utilize other resources to engage in combat. With my predictions of what the United States national defense policy will be like based on what I have learned from experts in the field, ground forces will be a thing of the past. When we were asked what Harvard professor Nathan Tarcov would do in confronting ISIS, I said the exact same thing. Tarcov would

The Need for a National Missile Defense Program in the United States Several hundred Soviet, nuclear tipped, ballistic missiles streak towards the United States without any form of opposition or challenge to their impeding destruction. The result of a situation like this would be no doubt disastrous, but it is a situation that could very well take place if the United States does not install a national ballistic missile defense program. An anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system is a precaution

The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) research

Weapons of Mass Destruction through the National Missile Defense Program Ever since nuclear weapons of mass destruction have existed, people have been attempting to create ways to prevent a war that would bring about a worldwide Arma-geddon. Many of today’s top military and government officials have been studying ways in which the United States can protect itself from a nuclear missile attack. What they have come up with is the National Missile Defense program, or NMD. The NMD would consist

encryption, access control, physical security, training, threat analysis, and authentication. As an Information Technology major at the United States Naval Academy (USNA), I was selected to participate on USNA’s team for the 2010 Cyber Defense Exercise hosted by the National Security Agency. Our team, which won the competition, had to design, operate, and defend our virtual network. As File Systems Manager, I was directly responsible for the encryption, user authentication, and intrusion analysis of

The National Missile Defense System is the First Step to Another Cold War and the United States Should Not Do It As we begin the twenty-first century, an increasing number of states around the world are acquiring nuclear capabilities. The sense of insecurity by individual governments is driving many states into developing and testing ballistic missiles. In the mean time, the United States finds itself in a position to develop new technology that will protect themselves against these potential
