Space Warfare: The New Battlefield

Space serves as a critical domain for military operations, starting as a conduit for missiles and evolving to encompass a range of strategic capabilities. The establishment of satellites allows for reconnaissance and communication, essential for real-time data and imagery. The integration of GPS and alternative geolocation systems has become integral to modern warfare, shaping the operational landscape over the last fifty years. High-end warfare conducted by major nations relies heavily on these space-based assets. As military conversations evolve, addressing anti-satellite capabilities becomes increasingly vital, emphasizing the need for a dedicated force to protect positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) in space.
