Publisher description
This incredible DVD-ROM - greatly revised and expanded for 2005 - provides a comprehensive guide to America's ongoing Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) program, run by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). Formerly known as the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) and called "Star Wars" by the media and critics, the BMD program will use a layered defense to protect against ballistic missile attack. President Bush recently authorized the deployment of the first element of this system, which is expected to become operational early in 2005 for limited defensive operations (LDO).
This detailed material is heavily illustrated with color photographs, drawings, tables, and charts. The disc contains over 1.5 gigabytes of material.
