This overview of 1987 developments focuses on missiles, which overshadowed other events. The discussion covers the performance of Cruise missiles; the development of radar-triggered missiles; and the accuracy of the US Trident II missile. Also considered are the B-1B bomber and antimissile plans for the US Strategic Defense Initiative. An expert opinion is offered by Thomas F. Curry, chief scientist at E-Systems' center for advanced planning and analysis, who discusses belt-tightening by the US Department of Defense.
