In Foreign Space Capabilities: Implications for U.S. National Security, Steve Lambakis explains that the United States relies heavily on space and must take steps to strengthen its deterrent and develop and field military forces to counter current and emerging space threats. Anti-satellite testing in space and other counter-space developments are on the rise, especially in China and Russia, and nations have practiced interference of satellites, such a jamming, without apparent fear of retaliation. Nations also are using space with greater proficiency and may be able to use space assets to counter U.S. military power or threaten U.S. national security. This is not a good sign for the future. The reality is that the United States is vulnerable to asymmetric attacks that could have a disproportionately disruptive effect on its safety and way of life. Policy makers and defense planners need to understand the nature and implications of space threats and the policy and strategy options to deal with challenges to U.S. security in this technologically and strategically dynamic environment.
