Sky Project, funded by a San Francisco-based tech company, aims to bolster Ukraine’s air defenses from incoming missiles and rockets in plan similar to doomed U.S. effort under Reagan.
Former President Ronald Reagan dreamed of a “Star Wars” air-defense system that would shield the U.S. from incoming Soviet nuclear missiles, but the sci-fi-inspired Strategic Defensive Initiative technology proved too costly and difficult in the mid-1980s.
Code named Sky Project, the joint initiative is funded and supplied by JustAnswer, a San Francisco-based company with more than 250 employees in war-ravaged Ukraine. The project’s other participants are the Lviv Military Administration, Ukraine Air Command West, Software Association of Japan, itSMF Japan and others, though the partnership would welcome funding from Ukraine’s military.
Ukraine has “an old, bad system that we are replacing in a startup-ey way with upgraded computer systems of sophisticated new hardware and software,” Kurtzig, perhaps the tech industry’s most vocal supporter of Ukraine, told MarketWatch. “The U.S. has not helped to close the skies from Day One of this conflict,” he said. His company has maintained operations in Ukraine since the war began, and he recently visited employees there.
