C^T3^RIóCommand, Control, and Communications Initiativeóis the most complex element of the entire Strategic Defense Initiative. Few C^T3^RI experts are comfortable with the present capacity for survivable communications in the event of a nuclear exchange. This book provides a thorough report on the opportunities (and dangers) ahead for C^T3^RI, current efforts to improve its capabilities, and the biggest communications projects on land and in space today. It examines the role of industry, the influence of Soviet threats, and future funding patterns of C^T3^RI. This comprehensive report illuminates the potential of electronics and artificial intelligence in C^T3^RI, and explains Congressional attitudes toward the program.
