With the current and projected continuance of the militarys dependence upon the commercial space segment, it is imperative that the United States develops a strategy that regains the initiative and enables the attainment of an information superiority capability. It is critical to the United States that it maintains a position of information superiority across the spectrum of military operations. The access to commercial satellite systems will be a critical but challenging element of that advantage. Success will depend upon the practice of disciplined investment in space technologies as well as alternatives to reduce the dependence upon their limited capacity. It will also require the eventual development of force applications to counter known and probable threats to all space-based systems. Change is required now. Without guaranteed access to the required capacity for bandwidth, the U.S. technological advantage will be mitigated. |
