Navy Space Operations in the 21st Century: Sailing Among the Stars

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA378506 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The proliferation of space technologies, systems and services is creating a threat to naval operations in theater. To counter these threats and take advantage of the emerging technology the Navy needs to understand what space capabilities are required. An analysis of the five enduring Navy roles as laid out in Forward... Prom the Sea shows where space threats and capabilities cross. This intersection provides a framework within the construct of USSPACECOMs Long Range Plan to examine Navy space requirements. The Navy as a provider to USSPACECOM and a user of many space services has unique capabilities that can be used to project power into space. The integration of space control capabilities and sea borne forward presence can provide an umbrella of security for friendly forces in a theater.
