The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) was proposed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan on March 23 1983 to use ground-based and space-based systems to protect the United States from attack by strategic nuclear ballistic missiles. The initiative focused on strategic defense rather than the prior strategic offense doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD).
