Aligning with the Space Enterprise Vision Overcoming the Threat to Space Systems

Abstract

GPS satellites help target enemies while minimizing collateral damage. They help troops navigate and avoid fratricide. Their timing signal helps synchronize cellular networks, gas pumps, and cash machines, stabilizing our economy. Such a space-based capability is eyed by countries like China as an inviting - and highly vulnerable - target. Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) have developed a Space Enterprise Vision that aims to ensure an affordable, resilient space architecture that can overcome threats and protect our edge in space-based capabilities.
