The author describes the notable successes in the aerospace program in 1986, namely, the exploration of Uranus by a reconfigured spacecraft and the cooperative international study of Halley's Comet. Milestones in US military programs are also discussed: the Strategic Defense Initiative, popularly known as 'Star Wars', demonstrated a new radar-guided interceptor and coordinated a space-tracking experiment for nearly 3 h; and a computer-based expert system began assisting Navy commanders in the Pacific and help from the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
