Spacepower Security Forum 2023 | Space’s Role in North American Defense: Missile Warning and Tracking

Mitchell Institute Spacepower Security Forum 2023 
April 5, 2023, Army Navy Country Club, Arlington, VA.

Space’s Role in North American Defense: Missile Warning and Tracking:
Adversaries are increasingly developing long-range strike missiles that legacy ground-based radars are unable to track in the time needed to provide warning and cue defenses. They are also fielding anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons to degrade or destroy existing U.S. space-based missile warning sensors. This panel will explore operational concepts and associated technologies required to address these threats.
