Abstract
The author describes this computer-controlled, radar-directed air defense system and examines the reasons why the US Department of Defense halted the program after spending $1.9 billion on it. He examines the difficulties that fueled criticism by the media and US Congress, and explores the lessons to be learned from the project.Keywords
