As near-peer competitors of the U.S., like China and Russia, continue their technological advances in space, new protocols will be required to balance competing interests in space development and defense.
For example, a system capable of satellite recovery and repair can quickly be directed to an offensive mission against a competitor’s satellites. Issues like “space stalking” with such dual-purpose systems placed in orbit near our most critical space assets need to be addressed early.
When is it appropriate for nations to pre-emptively defend their satellite network but avoid the charge of initiating hostilities? Click here for Dr. Brian G. Chow’s thoughtful white paper published in the recent Strategic Studies Quarterly.
