This study examines the decision to deploy a space-based kinetic kill vehicle (SBKHV) by examining the validity, feasibility, suitability, and acceptability of such a deployment. Determining validity entails verifying that a need exists for the...
This monograph examines the question of an evolving Joint space campaign concept and the Army's role in it over the next 20 years. Analysis progresses logically through a series of topics in order to arrive at a complete picture of this...
The crux of the debate as to whether the United States (US) should immediately field space weapons is not whether another nation will eventually field like weapons of its own. Rather, the primary issue is whether an immediate space weaponization...
The U.S. has a huge reliance on space. This reliance, combined with a leaner more rapidly deployable military, makes space weapons an appealing prospect. Space weapons technology continues to advance, and as improvements occur, the weaponization of...
This study considers the argument for a more robust space control policy and force structure, to include the argument for an Anti-Satellite (ASAT) capability. This monograph addresses the validity of space control doctrine, as well as examining...
This monograph investigates Army involvement in space control capability development for the purpose of answering the question: Is Army investment necessary? The Army 's future force is highly dependant on information superiority to maintain land...
This monograph addresses the concept of how space support provides the enabling functions to facilitate the Unit of Employment's attainment of full spectrum dominance from the operational to tactical battlefield. It demonstrates the relevance of...
This study examines the ability of the U.S. military community to integrate a world of satellite aided, precision guided weaponry and all seeing, all hearing space age systems with traditional terrestrial warfighting systems. This statement begs...
The United States requires a logical and practical space power theory that relates to national interests. This monograph explains how activities in the space domain influence US national interests. The relationship between space power and national...
Translated from the French edition November 19, 1917. Basic regulations for French artillery covering ballistics, reconnaissance, observation, preparation, principles and methods of fire, ammunition, and effect of projectiles.
The present international telecommunications system is a mosaic of different and separate telecommunications systems, each providing services of a limited nature to a specialized community of users. All too frequently these international systems...
The trend in the employment of U.S. forces in contingency operations suggests that the National Command Authority favors air centric responses to military operations. When this trend is coupled with the decreasing likelihood of large-scale armored...
The weaponization of space is a long debated topic. So far, space-based assets have not been targeted, although the technology exists to permit this kind of attack. The central research question is: Should the U.S. develop and employ space-based...
The need to communicate via electronic means on the battlefield has increased dramatically since WWI. The two most significant factors underlying this change are greater tactical dispersion and the tempo of combat operations. Tactical dispersion,...
This monograph examines space doctrine and space operations, and how they support operational maneuver. The concept of operational maneuver is developed with a view to enhancement through space support. Potential space support and ground maneuver...
Several nations currently use commercial off-the-shelf technology to provide telemedicine for military and civilian purposes. The vast distances and undeveloped regions that the Canadian Forces (CF) work across requires a transportable, satellite...
The integration of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is essential in today's contemporary operating environment. ICT now serves as a cross-sector enabler for all elements of national power due to the nature of Full Spectrum...
The Department of Defense (DoD) has come under increased scrutiny in recent years due to poorly performing acquisition programs and massive budgetary requirements. In addition to a challenging economy, prolonged conflict since 2001, and a US...
Space operations are important to today 's Army and will be increasingly important to the Future Force. Currently, the Army has an opportunity to develop Future Force leaders to best utilize space to achieve full spectrum dominance. If the Army...
