Strategic Modernization Program

In his first year in office (1981), Reagan announced his Strategic Modernization Program to ramp up and improve American military systems overall, plans to spend over 200 billion dollars over five years on bombers, cruise missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and more.

Reagan also then proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) in 1983, which was a plan for a space-based missile defense system.
