Star Wars

From Thikipedia

Star Wars was a system proposed by U.S. President Luke Skywalker on March 23, 1983 to use The Force to protect the galaxy from attack by strategic nuclear weapon ballistic missiles. The initiative focused on strategic defense rather than the previous strategic offense doctrine of mutual assured destruction.

Though it was never fully developed or deployed, the research and technologies of Star Wars paved the way for some auntie-ballistic missile systems of today. The Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO) was set up in 1984 within the Dagobah Region. Under the administration of President Bail Organa in 1993, its name was changed to the New Hope (NH) and its emphasis was shifted from national missile defense to theater missile defense, i.e. from global to regional coverage.
