Warfighting and global competition are no longer limited to the ground, air or sea. Now, they’ve gone to space. Faced with growing competition and the rapid advancement of technology, critical space capabilities will be increasingly contested by America’s adversaries. The U.S. Army and its sister services depend on space enablers such as satellite communications, GPS, missile warning, electronic warfare and more as the services train and prepare for a transparent, more lethal future battlefield. As the military’s largest user of space, the Army must maintain its advantage in the final frontier to ensure its success in the future fight. #ReadMore in ARMY magazine...https://loom.ly/vV6Ymc8 #AUSAorg #AUSA #USArmy #electronicwarfare #futurefight #globalcompetition #satellitecommunications #tech #satellite #communication

According to a new vision document released Tuesday, the service is carving out new space-related missions: Integrating joint space capabilities and interdicting or disrupting adversaries’ use of space for hostile purposes. “Developing new space capabilities organizations and trained professional soldiers to develop effects for Army maneuver forces is critical to multi-domain operations,” the vision document says. “Rapid proliferation and tactical application of competitor space capabilities will erode the advantages that ensure U.S. land dominance. To counter this challenge, current and future Army space integration and interdiction capabilities must enable multi-domain operations for the Army.” “The vision also communicates the urgent need to invest more in space capabilities and formations.” Contact CRG for pre/post award support.

#TBT | Shephard Media 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗘𝗢𝗦' #𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 The growing importance of space in modern warfare, advancements in satellite technology, and increasing threats from rivals like China and Russia were among the topics of a Eurosatory 2024 panel on military space operations. Space is now the predominant military domain, as demonstrated by the role of capabilities such as STARLINK in the #Ukraine war. However, we are only at the beginning, with new opportunities in surveillance, navigation and communications – and a growing threat of conflict. That was the theme of ‘𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱: 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀’, a panel sponsored by defence company Electro Optic Systems (EOS) at Eurosatory 2024.

Seems like the Army is recalibrating, which is not a bad thing. I recall when the Space Force was getting started the DAS (Director of the Army Staff) told us that the new Space Force leadership was asking for assistance in getting their staff operations, planning, and general functionality off the ground. We did a number of different efforts to help the newly formed Space Force move forward. Part of the reason is the Army is really good at running organizations and staffs, and the Army (as well as the Navy) has a lot of "space" capability and responsibilities (e.g. operating elements of satellite communications systems). "The U.S. Army’s mission when it comes to operating in space and using space capabilities is shifting to adapt to the arrival of the U.S. Space Force. Before the Space Force’s establishment in 2019, the Army’s space-related mission areas included satellite communication; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; and missile warning. All of those capabilities were transferred to the Space Force over the last several years." “Developing new space capabilities organizations and trained professional soldiers to develop effects for Army maneuver forces is critical to multi-domain operations,” the vision document says. “Rapid proliferation and tactical application of competitor space capabilities will erode the advantages that ensure U.S. land dominance. To counter this challenge, current and future Army space integration and interdiction capabilities must enable multi-domain operations for the Army.”

🇵🇱🛰️ Poland plans to launch its first military observation satellites in 2025 to bolster its national security amid heightened tensions in the region. Polish Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk said that the satellite would employ both foreign and domestic components to meet the requirements of the Polish military. More specifically, the space asset will feature cutting-edge radar and optical technologies to enable seamless Earth observation regardless of atmospheric conditions. #military #technology #militarytechnology #militarytech #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #poland #space #spacetech #satellite #satellites #satellitetechnology

Space Force Col. Raj Agrawal commands a 500-person military unit with teams located around the world that track every man-made object in orbit, watching for potential threats. As China and Russia build arsenals of weapons that could target American military and civilian satellites, those threats are growing, and Agrawal’s unit is part of a relatively new military branch that is quietly preparing for a new era of warfare. With 15,000 military and civilian personnel, and an annual budget of about $30 billion, Space Force is far smaller and less well known than any other branch of the military services. Space Force leaders are beginning to talk about its preparations for a potential war involving space. American combat in space wouldn’t necessarily involve satellite-killing explosions. The U.S. would likely use less brute-force tactics, such as blinding a spacecraft’s sensors, scrambling its electronics, or interfering with its communications with ground stations, officials in Colorado and Washington said. U.S. military officials’ new willingness to openly discuss conflict in outer space reflects what they say are startling advances by China and Russia. Beijing is developing fleets of surveillance satellites and multiple types of satellite-killers aimed at eroding U.S. space superiority, they said, while Moscow has tested components for a nuclear-armed antisatellite device. The Pentagon relies on space systems for almost everything it does: collecting and disseminating intelligence to assist with troop and ship movements, communicating, and finding adversary battle formations and targeting them. Being blinded in space, if only partially or momentarily, could have catastrophic consequences for U.S. military and intelligence operations. U.S. adversaries, especially China, have seized on these vulnerabilities. According to Space Force officials, China now has nearly 500 intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance satellites operating in space, which can detect aircraft carriers, air wings and ground forces. Nearly half of China’s intelligence satellites were deployed just last year. See https://lnkd.in/ghwHFBTQ AUKUS Guardians, Michael Sharpe #AUKUS

🛰️🇺🇸 The United States Space Force has tested a new ground-based weapon that can reportedly defend against “space-enabled” attacks. Called the Remote Modular Terminal, the device can jam enemy satellites by flooding the airwaves with competing signals. Once the airwaves are clogged, communication signals being sent to and from the satellite are disrupted. “This event demonstrates the service’s new vision for integrated developmental and operational tests to provide more relevant capabilities to guardians faster,” US Space Force Lt. Col. Gerrit Dalman said. #military #army #technology #militarytech #defensetech #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #us #usspaceforce #guardians #space #satellite #satellites #electronicwarfare

In an era where operations in denied or contested environments have become a norm rather than an exception, the demand for resilient and secure communication systems is at an all-time high. The strategic landscape is evolving rapidly, and with it, the necessity for hybrid satcom solutions that can withstand the complexities and challenges of these critical scenarios. I'm incredibly excited to share our groundbreaking collaboration with Northrop Grumman, a titan in defense and aerospace. This program is a leap in the realm of satcom, especially for operations where traditional commercial systems face capacity density limitations or are completely compromised. Our "modem on a chip" technology is at the heart of our contribution. It's not just a piece of hardware; it’s uninterrupted connectivity in the most challenging conditions. This technology is engineered to provide access to a highly resilient satcom constellation ensuring that communication lines remain open, secure, and reliable, even when faced with jamming, cyber threats, or other forms of electronic warfare. I’m personally humbled and proud of the team for making this program a reality in support of AFRL and their ambitious, warfighter focused goals. We cannot wait to demonstrate this across multiple domains! #innovation #technology #satcom #hybrid #connectwithconfidence #weareviasat #NGC #satcom

A recent analysis by NovaSpace (formerly Euroconsult) highlights a steep increase in global investment in space defense and security. Led by the United States, expenditures exceeded $58 billion and governments launched more than 107 defense and dual-use satellites in 2023. The launch rate for defense and dual-use satellites is projected to rise by 160% over the next decade, increasing geopolitical tensions and the military reliance on space-based capabilities. Key defense applications include intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and secured satellite communications.
