Yesterday, we discussed the "New World Order." What does it mean? I referred to several important conclusions of the Rīga Conference 2023. This is just a quick reminder from the speech H.E. Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga, who emphasized that the challenges to our security and cooperation institutions do not come from the stars and the moon; they come from people themselves. More quotes and important conclusions about the security architecture, the future of NATO, defense industry, and many others, please find on our Youtube channel: https://lnkd.in/dY6sS_4g #rigaconf2023 #ruslsm

While progress has been made... top brass from Europe’s four largest military space operators say there is still a ways to go in working out how Europe and the United States will jointly respond to growing threats from Russia and China.

🌌 Pentagon Overhauls Classification Policy to Boost Collaboration in Military Space Programs... The Pentagon Force Protection Agency is taking a bold step forward by updating its policy on military space program secrecy. This change is a strategic move to enhance collaboration with allies and commercial entities in the space sector. Here's what you need to know: 🤝 The update aims to improve agility and collaboration, acknowledging the need to respond to the evolving threats. 🛰️ While the United States Space Force and National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) maintain certain confidential details, they are now engaging more with commercial satellite operators for unclassified data. 📜 Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks' memo marks a shift from "declassification" to "unclassification," facilitating information-sharing with individuals holding lower security clearances. This policy overhaul reflects a significant recognition of the role of commercial space capabilities and the necessity for quick, effective responses to space threats. How do you think this policy change will impact collaboration in military space programs? https://lnkd.in/eurA52mU #MilitarySpace #Collaboration #Pentagon #SpacePolicy #NationalSecurity

Regular readers of #ArmyMadSci are already familiar with the five domains associated with contemporary combat operations — land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace. When Russia launched its “Special Military Operation” into Ukraine in February 2022, the world watched as the Ukrainian Armed Forces absorbed and withstood the amassed might of the Russian Ground, Airborne, Naval, and Aerospace Forces arrayed against it. One integral aspect of Ukraine’s valiant defense was the role the #privatesector played in providing corroborative intelligence via space imagery, effective cyber security, and resilient Command and Control networks. The Atlantic Council Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security coined a new sobriquet — the “#sixthdomain” — to capture the private sectors’ contributions in contemporary combat operations. Today’s post by the U.S. Army War College’s Team Sullivan’s Travels member LTC Kristine Hinds assesses the importance of the sixth domain to future conflicts — especially in supporting coalition partners in geographically separated locations.

This week, CSPS launched the new debate series highlighting national security space debates with arguments from two analysts external to The Aerospace Corporation. For the next edition, Paula Thornhill and Charles Galbreath debate how the concept of "warfighter" should fit into United States Space Force culture. Thornhill argues that argues that the mission of the Space Force does not align with the long-standing paradigm defining warfighters by their direct role in organized violence. Alternatively, Galbreath suggests that Guardians are warfighters because they conduct operations and provide services critical to the U.S. military under an increasing range of threats. 📰 Read the full paper and learn more about the debate series here: https://lnkd.in/e5msrZzN In case you missed the first debate on the defense utility of cislunar space, you can read it here: https://lnkd.in/eRNqkTX3 #USSF #SpacePolicy #SpaceForce
