A Strategy for Space Warfare.
Abstract
This report develops a strategy for space systems warfare that provides National Command Authorities with options that go beyond space systems. It examines policy, doctrine, and legal aspects of space systems, and finds that more should be done in those areas. It postulates space system warfare scenarios to include attacks on ground and control systems and covert and overt attacks on spacecraft; analyzes present space warfare strategy using Fabyanic model and finds that present strategy is lacking in war fighting content. Finally, it develops a new space warfare strategy with several options using Crowls' model and applies classical strategists. A new strategy employs more elements of power than just space systems. The author makes recommendations to correct several problems.
