Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book opens a window into the inner workings of the defense space world in the post-Cold War era, focusing on three expensive satellite systems - Milstar, DSP, and FEWS - designed to meet Soviet strategic threats during the Cold War. As the Cold War drew to a close, the need for these systems came into question, and their designs and costs underwent significant scrutiny. The book delves into the technical questions and allegations of impropriety surrounding these programs. It also explores the broader challenges of transitioning military technology and procurement practices to a post-Cold War environment, where the focus shifted from countering a global nuclear threat to addressing regional conflicts. The author argues that the military-industrial complex, shaped by the Cold War's urgency, must adapt to changing priorities, emphasizing cost-effectiveness and reassessing the validity of existing requirements.
