SALT I is the common name for the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks. SALT I froze the number of strategic ballistic missile launchers at existing levels, and provided for the addition of new SLBM launchers only after the same number of older ICBM and SLBM launchers had been dismantled.

The strategic nuclear forces of the two nations were changing in character in the late 1960s. The Soviet program was for the continued deployment of heavy land-based missiles and new ballistic missile submarines; the Soviet Union had been deploying around 200 more missiles every year since 1968. The U.S. total number of missiles had been static since 1967 at 1,054 ICBMs and 656 SLBMs but there was an increasing number of missiles with MIRV warheads being deployed. Both nations were developing anti-ballistic missile (ABM) systems, the Soviet Union deploying such a system around Moscow in 1966 and the United States announcing an ABM program to protect twelve ICBM sites in 1967.
