The author, a former member of the SDIO Panel on Computing in Support of Battle Management, explains why he believes the 'star wars' effort will not achieve its stated goals. This report comprises eight short papers that were completed while he was a member of the Panel on Computing in Support of Battle Management, convened by the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO). The panel was asked to identify the computer science problems that would have to be solved before an effective antiballistic missile (ABM) system could be deployed. It is clear to everyone that computers must play a critical role in the systems that SDIO is considering. The essays that constitute this report were written to organize thoughts on these topics and were submitted to SDIO with his resignation from the panel.
