Abstract
In November 1974 Dr Malcolm Currie, Director of Defense Research and Engineering, warned that: ‘The coming year will probably see the start of the most massive deployment of new strategic weapons in history — and those will be Soviet weapons’.1 The scale of the Soviet effort was sufficient to disturb ‘even some who had been prone to view US programs as the principal catalyst of the arms race’.2 Had the ‘threat’ so dramatically prophesied by Laird, Foster and Senator Jackson in the first term of the Nixon Administration finally come to pass?KeywordsGuidance TechnologySoviet ForceIntelligence EstimateDeployment RateStrategic WeaponThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
