Resiliency and Disaggregated Space Architectures

Abstract

National security space assets provide Joint Warfighters and our nation with strategic warning, assured communication, and precision positioning, navigation and timingan unrivaled advantage in todays security environment. Use of these capabilities has evolved considerably in recent years; however, the space systems themselves have not. Many of these systems have designs that date back to the Cold War. Requirements in that era were driven by the compelling need for nuclear attack warning and the desire to maintain a bilateral balance of power. Threats to space systems were deemed a tolerable risk, since an attack in space would be provocative and escalatory and might be interpreted as a prelude to nuclear war.
