The U.S. Space Command is aiming for Space Defense Readiness by 2027. Gen. Stephen Whiting emphasized the need for stronger international and commercial partnerships to combat evolving space threats from adversaries around the world. "Our alliance system makes us stronger and helps us develop resilience and build capacity," Whiting stated during a recent event. With 33 international agreements for space situational awareness and a growing commercial sector, Spacecom is committed to maximizing combat readiness and defending against threats.

Spaceport needs increase- In the House Armed Services Committee's draft fiscal 2025 defense policy bill, concerns were raised about the increased launch demands on the two main spaceports - Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida (Space Florida) and Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. United States Space Force is exploring options to increase the number of launches its existing ranges can support through an initiative called Spaceport of the Future. The bill lists potential alternative sites (and GSA members), including Virginia Spaceport Authority's Wallops Island in Virginia, Pacific Spaceport Complex in Alaska, and the only U.S. inland vertical launch facility - Spaceport America in New Mexico. 👉 Read the article at https://lnkd.in/eYRSJUiC Image- © Provided by Defense News

Looking forward to the Association of Defense Communities National Summit next week in DC. I'm using it as an opportunity to publish my latest paper in two parts. The first is about how Complex Adaptive Systems could help us better understand installations, their missions and the evolving relationships between bases and their host communities. The second is a proposed taxonomy for profiling bases to help leaders to understand the constellation of installations in all their uniqueness and complexity and be able to better deploy their limited resources. https://lnkd.in/e27Wcfxv https://lnkd.in/eA8D2a87

Can we influence and govern a volunteer force of citizens more committed to state Title 32 needs into a Title 10 construct? Probably only if there is some reasonable guarantee they'll never be called to change their physical geography to deploy or employ their capabilities for Title 10 missions. Space is a warfighting doman. Is space warfare a WFH proposition? Or, from the guard perspective, could/should any and every state benefit from establishing its own Space National Guard? https://lnkd.in/epri4DYg

Space threats have the potential to disrupt commercial and military satellites alike. In the recent Spacepower 2024, Col. Robert Davis, program executive officer for Space Force’s Space Sensing program, joined industry representatives in a panel discussion about emerging threats and the critical need for commercial and allied partnership to thwart them.

The age of hypersonic weapons is here, threatening our way of life. To stay ahead of emerging risks, Space Systems President Kelle Wendling believes the space and defense communities need to go farther, faster. “The government and our industry must embrace tighter collaboration, faster decision-making and continual innovation to provide warfighters with new capabilities on timelines relevant to national defense.” Read more from Forbes: https://bit.ly/3UZd6z7

🌌 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
