  • STRAT-X, or Strategic-Experimental, was a U.S. government-sponsored study conducted during 1966 and 1967 that comprehensively analyzed the potential future of the U.S. nuclear deterrent force. At the time, the Soviet Union was making significant strides in nuclear weapons delivery, and also constructing anti-ballistic missile defenses to protect strategic facilities. To address a potential technological gap between the two superpowers, U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara entrusted the classified STRAT-X study to the Institute for Defense Analyses, which compiled a twenty-volume report in nine months. The report looked into more than one hundred different weapons systems, ultimately resulting in the MGM-134 Midgetman and LGM-118 Peacekeeper intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Ohio-class submarines, and the Trident submarine-launched ballistic missiles, among others. Journalists have regarded STRAT-X as a major influence on the course of U.S. nuclear policy. (en)
  • STRAT-X, ou Strategic-Experimental, est une étude menée en 1966 et 1967 et parrainée par le gouvernement américain qui a analysé le potentiel futur de la force de dissuasion nucléaire des États-Unis. À l'époque, l'Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques fait des progrès importants dans les missiles nucléaires et dans la construction de défenses anti-missiles et missiles antibalistiques pour protéger ses installations stratégiques. Pour combler une potentielle lacune technologique entre les deux superpuissances, le Secrétaire américain de la Défense Robert McNamara a confié l'étude classifiée STRAT-X à l', qui a compilé un rapport de vingt volumes en neuf mois. Le rapport a examiné plus de cent différents systèmes d'armes, entraînant finalement le développement des missiles balistiques intercontinentaux MGM-134 Midgetman et Peacekeeper, les sous-marins de classe Ohio et les missiles mer-sol balistique stratégique Trident notamment. Les journalistes considèrent STRAT-X comme ayant eu une influence majeure dans la politique nucléaire américaine. (fr)
