| has gloss | eng: The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (or BMDO) was an agency of the United States Department of Defense. It was known as the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO) until it was renamed by the administration of President Bill Clinton in 1993. This change in name was accompanied by a shift in emphasis from national missile defense to theater missile defense, i.e. from global to regional coverage. In 1998, focus shifted back to national missile defense when Defense secretary William Cohen proposed spending an additional $6.6 billion on ballistic missile defense programs to build a national system to protect against attacks from North Korea or accidental launches from Russia or China. BMDO was renamed as the Missile Defense Agency in 2002. |

| has gloss | ces: (BMDO) je státní agentura Spojených států amerických. Původně se jmenovala SDIO - Strategic Defense Initiative Organization, než ji roku 1993 Bill Clinton přejmenoval a současně zúžil záběr jejího pokrytí. V roce 1998 bylo pokrytí této agentury opět operativně rozšířeno na rozsah národní raketové obrany na návrh Williama Cohena z důvodů obav před možnými útoky ze Severní Koreje, vypuštěním raket z Ruska či Číny, se současným vyčleněním nákladů o výši 6,6 mld. dolarů. BMDO bylo na začátku roku 2002 přejmenováno na MDA - Missile Defence Agency (Agentura raketové obrany). |
