ML/ALGORITHMIC TOOLS FOR TACTICAL SPACE DOMAIN AWARENESS
“So what? For readers who may not work in the Space Domain Awareness (SDA) community, the idea behind this article in its extrapolated form is the deployment of Machine Learning and algorithmic analysis as close to the tactical edge as possible. As the United States military continues to employ layered and integrated sensing networks, the temptation is to locate analysis at higher level echelons, far-removed from the data collection points.”
Lessons Learned from Cyber Testing Space Systems
Cyber attacks against space systems often exploit the exact same vulnerabilities that cyber testers repeatedly uncover. Ground segments with remote access paths, trusted management networks, and maintenance mechanisms that can be abused to generate mission effects are common attack vectors when it comes to making mission effects via cyber-attack.
10 Propositions for Space Superiority
The application of the term space superiority has become frustratingly inconsistent within a military context. On one hand, the doctrinal definition in Joint Publication 3-14 relies on obscure statements like degree of control, freedom of access and action, and prohibitive interference while omitting any direct reference to military operations.
Position Paper on Mining in Outer Space
For 40,000 years, mankind has mined the resources of planet Earth for all manner of purposes: weapons, tools, objects for trade, and national currency.[1] In fact, mining has had such a profound impact on human history that entire eras are named after the discovery and use of mined materials: the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age.
On the Employment of Space Forces:
The day is won. Within the symposium of American military debate, the space domain is conclusively a militarized and war-fighting domain, after decades of infighting. Space combat will mark a change in warfare, distinct from previous epochs, but faces conceptual and principled unknowns in how it will be employed. The aim of space superiority, “the degree of dominance in space of one force over any others that permits the conduct of operations at a given time and place without prohibitive interference from space-based threats, enables the protection of American interests in, from, and through space.
