Strategic Computing Initiative

The Strategic Computing Initiative was a U.S. government project launched in the 1980s to develop advanced computer technology with military and scientific applications. Its goal was to create powerful, high-speed computers capable of complex tasks like artificial intelligence, advanced simulations, and real-time data processing. This effort aimed to improve national security and technological competitiveness by pushing the boundaries of computing hardware and software. The initiative helped spur innovations in supercomputing and AI that have influenced both military capabilities and commercial technology development.
