Star Wars was the name given to Reagan's support of the Strategic Defense Initiative. This strategy was developed under Reagan in comparison to the strategy of "mutually assured destruction." 

Answer: Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)

The Strategic Defense Initiative was a proposal of President Ronald Reagan, announced on March 23, 1983. The concept was a missile defense system intended to protect the United States from ballistic nuclear weapons. The proposal came from Reagan's desire to find a way to make nuclear weapons obsolete in the international arena. His plan was controversial, and it was mockingly called "Star Wars."
