Addressing Opportunities and Challenges of the Strategic Environment

Addressing Opportunities and Challenges of the Strategic Environment Astropolitics, 8:170–174, 2010 ISSN: 1477-7622 print=1557-2943 online DOI: 10.1080/14777622.2010.522938 COMMENTARY Addressing Opportunities and Challenges of the Strategic Environment DANIEL DANT U.S. Office of the Secretary of Defense Peter Hays attempts to tackle the most troubling issue for the space community in the last 20 years—how do we organize the national security space enterprise (NSS) to reap the most benefits for our waning budgets? In an odd and tragic twist of irony, it seems as if our NSS enterprise is worse off today, 10 years after the deepest and most comprehensive scrutiny one could hope for, the 2001 Space Commission. Given the changing strategic context in the space domain, Hays fairly articulates and summarizes the current and past body of space policy work, which shapes the national security space playing field. That shifting context is best described, and reiterated by the author, in the Department of Defense (DOD) and Office the Director, National Intelligence, Space Posture Review (interim report), delivered to the United States Congress on 15 March 2010. This report highlighted the space environment in which the United States finds itself, and the three broad characteristics, which best describe that environment today: congested, competitive, and contested. Space is congested. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Astropolitics Taylor & Francis
