International competitors have recognized the value the U.S. has derived from its superior space systems over the last several decades. Those nations are actively working to counter those advantages and exploit the domain for their own purposes. The U.S. architecture needs to evolve to continue to meet the challenges of future multi-domain, information-centric warfare driven by advances in and proliferation of modern military technology. This talk will present a history of the U.S. space architecture, recent events and advances of potentially hostile activities in space, and discuss options for space domain superiority, including resilient architectures, space control, and the associated sensing and decision support required to enable the architecture of the future.
The MIT/Lincoln Labs "Defense Technology" lecture series will be conducted at the NWC by experts from the world-renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory (MIT/LL).
