🌌 Advancing Collaboration in Space Security 🌌 We’re excited to see initiatives like the #USSPACECOM Space Cooperation Board driving forward the integration of allies and partners to strengthen space security. 🚀 At UC2, we share the belief that collaboration across organizations and disciplines is essential to addressing the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. This year's SCB, co-chaired by leaders from USSPACECOM, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy, and the USSF Assistant Chief of Space Operations for Future Concepts and Partnership, exemplifies how strategic alignment can shape the future of global security efforts. As we continue fostering innovation through academic partnerships, we look forward to contributing to similar dialogues that emphasize ethical research, interdisciplinary approaches, and workforce development to ensure resilience and readiness across all domains—on Earth and beyond. 🌍✨ #CybersecurityInnovation #CollaborationInAction #SpaceSecurity 

#USSPACECOM held the Space Cooperation Board in Colorado Springs, uniting leaders to advance Space Security Cooperation. This year's outcomes will guide allied and partner integration, shaping the future of collaboration across the enterprise. New this year, the SCB was co-chaired by the USSPACECOM Strategy, Plans, and Policy Directorate, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy, and the USSF Assistant Chief of Space Operations for Future Concepts and Partnership.

U.S. Space Command is updating its approach to integrating commercial systems into operations as the broader national security space community takes a more forward-leaning posture toward working with the private sector.

As conflicts grow more complex and technology evolves, space becomes a vital arena for protecting national security and maintaining strategic advantages. Investing in Army Space means ensuring readiness, resilience, and superiority across all domains—land, air, sea, cyberspace, and space itself. Let’s continue to innovate, collaborate, and push the boundaries to secure a future where space supports peace, protection, and progress for all. #ArmySpace #SpaceInnovation #NationalSecurity #DefenseLeadership

Navigating Uncertainty: Arms Control in an Age of Disruptive Technologies As part of my visiting fellowship with RSIS | S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies I attended the Military Transformations Programme Annual Conference. I spoke on a panel on The Future of Outer Space Security. Given every country's reliance on space for so many aspects of life, we all need to care about ensuring space stays secure, safe, and sustainable. That is a challenge in an age of disruptive technologies though. Despite the numerous other challenges, space security should be given more priority, not just by the major space faring states, but also by the emerging ones and small states.
