More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This article examines some of the issues facing military strategists today in developing and expanding Space technologies in light of existing international law and U.S. policy. It focuses on their application in the area of tactically relevant Space control, especially in the realm of negating adversary Space capabilities (arguably the most controversial form of Space control). The article begins with a general discussion of how the application of technology to warfare influences strategic development and moves to the more specific discussion of military uses of recent and emerging Space technologies. This is followed by a portrayal of the emerging Space environment in regard to the growth in satellites and Space-faring nations, setting the stage for an examination of existing international treaties and U.S. policies in regard to Space-based systems. Finally, this essay looks at U.S. plans for Space control negation, and refines the discussion to a particular service.

In this case, the Army is used to show how Space control must be included as a critical part of its transformation over the next 10 to 15 years
