Challenges to Security in Space

Rapidly improving technological advances in establishing space platforms and going beyond earth’s stratosphere to explore the distant universe is no longer simply about scientific advancement and generating new commercially viable products in the process.

If you have a deep interest in space policy, especially with a focus on potential military conflicts, this Defense Intelligence Agency publication: "Challenges to Security in Space", will provide a comprehensive resource. It showcases China and Russia's space development programs as competing space nations that may pose future threats to U.S. and other nations with space programs.

As governments develop their space capabilities the probable escalation of potential conflicts could naturally rise. This authoritative work identifies the key issues in the analysis and thought process required to effectively address these increasing threats to open and non-military space environments:

• Key Space Concepts - Communication Satellites - Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance - Satellite Command and Control
• Key Counter-space Concepts - Cyberspace Threats - Directed Energy Weapons - Kinetic Energy Threats
• Space-based Services - Communications satellites
• And more.
