US Space System Survivability. Strategic Alternatives for the 1990s

Abstract

This monograph propose a systematic way to reduce the vulnerability of our critical space assets. The focus is on space systems vital to the national defense, and on the survivability of these systems across the spectrum of conflict. There is a gap between popular journalism and complex technical documentation, this monograph is written to help interested but inexpert readers understand how we can defeat and, conversely, how we can protect military space systems.
