The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program: A New Paradigm for Space, the Environment, and National Security.
Abstract
Future U.S. national security objectives will encompass a broader range of technological systems and applications than they have in the past. Dual-use technologies will be vitally important to maintaining U.S. leadership in the world community, in space-based security, and in global environmental security and stewardship. The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), as well as NASA's emerging. Mission-To-Planet-Earth Program, individually and collectively offer national ways of leveraging technology. They will provide mutually reinforcing endeavors which will enhance our national security. This study focuses on the benefits of using space technology applications within these programs to enhance military and environmental security. It is an attempt to define part of the peace dividend which is emerging from the end of the Cold War and it offers some recommendations for improving dual-technology synergism in augmenting national military security and environmental stewardship.
