Iron Prairie Ventures shares Port co, Rhea Space Activity's excitement for the government focus on more integration of military application for commercial use! 🚀
Recently, the Pentagon's Defense Science Board released a report on Commercial Space System Access and Integrity urging the integration of commercial space technology for military use 🛰 This is a significant step in leveraging innovations and advancements driven by the private sector to enhance our national security capabilities. Together, we can achieve a more resilient and responsive defense infrastructure by harnessing cutting-edge satellite technology, Earth observation systems, and advanced communication networks developed by commercial space companies. These technologies can be used for real-time battlefield surveillance, secure communication, reliable navigation in GPS-denied environments, and more. Collaboration between #DoD and the commercial space industry enhances defense capabilities and drives innovation and growth within the space sector 💫 Share your thoughts on the integration of commercial space technology in military applications in the comments below 👇 #defenseinnovation #spaceindustry
