Ad Hoc Panel on Army Utilization of Space Assets.

Abstract

This report represents the conclusions, recommendations, and a very brief synopsis of the supporting discussion of an ad hoc working group established in March 1983, to consider the subject of Army utilization of space assets. The panel concluded that the Army's approach to space utilization is not commensurate with the potential benefit of such utilization. The group has concluded that space as a place for platforms, and space technology itself, offer realistic prospects of providing the Army with substantial improvements in communications, position location, determining the battlefield environment and most importantly, the ability to see deep into the enemy's territory for intelligence and targeting purposes.
