摘要

20世纪70年代初，冷战已经到了一个特别寒冷的时刻，美国军方和情报官员遇到了一个问题。苏联海军正在成为全球海上威胁，而美国没有全球海洋监视能力。新的基洛夫级核动力导弹巡洋舰的出现加剧了恐慌，这是迄今为止苏联最大的舰艇。对美国来说，这种情况意味着，到目前为止阻止任何一方发动核打击的相互确保毁灭的危险平衡——MAD——可能会向错误的方向倾斜。

A Spy Satellite You've Never Heard of Helped Win the Cold War: The Parcae Project Revolutionized Electronic Eavesdropping

IN THE EARLY 1970s, the Cold War had reached a particularly frigid moment, and U.S. military and intelligence officials had a problem. The Soviet Navy was becoming a global maritime threat-and the United States did not have a global ocean-surveillance capability. Adding to the alarm was the emergence of a new Kirov class of nuclear-powered guided-missile battle cruisers, the largest Soviet vessels yet. For the United States, this situation meant that the perilous equilibrium of mutual assured destruction, MAD, which so far had dissuaded either side from launching a nuclear strike, could tilt in the wrong direction.
