CIGI Paper No. 313 Almudena Azcárate Ortega Victoria Samson January 23, 2025 Ever since humankind first launched objects into space, counterspace capabilities (also known as “space weapons”) were developed to disrupt or destroy them. Now that space is increasingly being used for both civilian and military applications, space technologies have evolved to meet these needs, but regulations to protect space have lagged behind. This paper looks at how the international community is addressing the threats posed by these technologies through multilateral efforts and regulatory mechanisms to enhance space security.

🛰 Watch Aaron Bateman, PhD, historian and author of Weapons in Space, discuss great power competition in space from the Cold War to today in the latest PSSI Space Security Guest Lecture. Guided by Dr. Roman Joch, the lecture covers the Strategic Defense Initiative's legacy, modern military space strategies, and lessons from Ukraine. #PSSIspace #spacesecurity

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

https://lnkd.in/dGTQwb4q The Space Enterprise and Integrated Deterrence Michael J. Mazarr, Krista Langeland, Anthony Atler, Alexis A. Blanc, Daniel Burkhart, Jordan Logue, Jonathan Tran, Brett Zakheim Dec 4, 2024 All elements of U.S. national power can play important roles in deterring conflict — and resilient, effective, credible aerospace capabilities are arguably the essential enabler for the other military components to do their job. The importance of the space enterprise to integrated deterrence emerges in a variety of specific capabilities and missions, from sensing and reconnaissance to targeting to communications. In this paper, the authors examine in what ways space capabilities and vulnerabilities shape deterrence outcomes, specifically those laid out by the concept of integrated deterrence, and provide insight into the role that the space community plays in this national security objective.

Who does what in the national security space enterprise? Todd Pennington, Senior Research Fellow for Space Strategy and Policy in the INSS Center for Strategic Research, surveys several deliberations about roles and missions in the national security space enterprise, which are likely to endure into the next administration.

Many alternatives to making the existing GPS Constellation Signals more resilient are being considered but maybe using the other GNSS signals already out there (i.e. Galileo) to fill in the potential GPS gaps may be more cost-effective. https://lnkd.in/eVjHC5Gx
